Do you skin on Turkey day? Get it.... Turkeys....skins......oh never mind. As we have discussed before, Halloween and Christmas are the two biggest skinning holidays of the year, but we do have one more between that, and that would be Thanksgiving. It hasn't been a big skinning holiday and there's only about two pages worth of uploads.  My question is though, is it something you skin your desktop for? Just wondering if we should be looking out for more or just focusing on the next big...

Over the past month we've featured many Halloween themed skins of all types, and even focused a bit more on animated wallpapers for DeskScapes and cursor themes for CursorFX.

This week's question we'll focus on something that doesn't get talked about as much.......and that would be icons. We have a couple of different categories for icons here on WinCustomize. Icon packs for use with IconPackager Icon category for general icon uploads. ObjectDock icons for icons that are meant to be used with OD. We have been curious on how the community uses icons in their desktop setups. Do you change the entire icon set with IconPackager, or do you just cha...

DeskScapes is a great way to manage your wallpapers, whether they are animated or static wallpapers. If you are not familiar with DeskScapes, it allows you to have animated wallpapers on your Windows desktop, and even lets you apply effects to those wallpapers for even more customization. One of the questions I get asked the most about DeskScapes is how you can have wallpapers change randomly. It’s a cool feature but it seems not everyone is aware how to enable it, so I wanted to foc...
