Want to get a look at what the next major version of WindowBlinds might look like?  If you do, head over to a ‘sneak peek’ from Frogboy with the current mockup of WindowBlinds 7.

Monday is back once again.  It seemed this was a busy weekend as the moderation queue was qquite busy, but I think we got most things through.  Check out some featured picks from the weekend. Let me know what you liked!

The end of the week has arrived!  And of course that means the weekly edition of This Week in Skinning is ready to go.  We have some great skins this week including several wallpapers, desktop gadget, icons, and more. Check it out!

Whether you want to change a specific icon within Windows, or replace the default application icon in ObjectDock, we have two icon galleries on WinCustomize that will help.  We have some really awesome icon artists that come up with some great new designs for icons, or build off the default icon of an application and put their own personal touch on it. This is especially true for more common applications like Photoshop or Microsoft Office, but you can find pretty much anything in the i...

Over the next couple of hours we are going to be doing some database maintenance.  During this time all Stardock-related sites could be affected by temporary outages, forums being down, etc.  Thanks for your patience, and sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

I wanted to highlight some of the recent .dreams (animated wallpapers) that have been coming into the WinCustomize galleries lately.  DeskScapes is available for both Windows Vista and XP, and you can find more information about DeskScapes at the link below. https://www.stardock.com/products/deskscapes/  

This WinCustomize Member Spotlight goes to a member who has been around since July of 2004, and has since made a bunch of contributions to the skin galleries.  Today, we spotlight ‘Apprentice’ DEVJIT. DEVJIT has been cranking out the wallpapers lately, along with matching logons and bootskins.  His wallpaper gallery is great because he goes with several different styles of images, not relying on one type. Check out DEVJIT’s WC personal site for more info and links to his works....

One of the newest skinning groups to come out of the skinning community is Skindex, which made an appearance at the 2008 GUI Championships where they took 2nd place in team ranking in the competition.  They have recently finished up the ‘Broken Aero’ skin suite with a ton of skins included. It’s a fantastic suite, and there is enough for a complete desktop transformation. Check out all the skins here .

Monday is here once again, and you know it’s time for the usual weekly feature showcasing skins that came in to WinCustomize over the past couple of days. Good stuff as always!  

Going through some statistics this morning, I saw a nice mix of old and new skins that were popular today on WinCustomize.  Here’s a quick look.

What a week this has been!  I’m certainly glad it’s Friday, and writing TWiS this week I was able to catch up on skins that I didn’t even see come through.  The best part is that I can share them with you too!

The latest Master skin to come through is Cosmic Waltz, which is a .dream (animated wallpaper) created by Master Skinner I.R. Brainianc.  This is a “cosmic” scene with objects smoothly floating in space, and it has a seamless loop. Cosmic Waltz is available for $3.99, and WinCustomize Subscribers get a 20% discount!  

Well it was sort of a long weekend for some of us, and while we were gone WinCustomize just kept on going.  I was checking out the galleries and moderation this morning, just to see what came in over the last few days so I could give everyone an update. So here is some featured skins from the last couple of days.  

It’s Friday and it’s a long weekend for some of us.  Can’t get much better than that, or can we?  Well since today is Friday that means it’s time for This Week in Skinning! Check out some of the featured skins from the past week!

We have a new Master WindowBlinds skin from Z71 called Light Mark.  This is one of my favorites so far, and this thing is hot!  A sleek dark style with beautiful color accents, along with a couple of wallpapers to match.  This is one you don’t want to miss. If you are a WinCustomize Subscriber you will get 20% off this Master Skin, and any other in the galleries.
