Summer is always a fun time, and like all the season I like to customize my desktop with that seasonal "feel". I found a bunch while looking through the galleries today, so here are just some that I found.
HTML clipboard This time I wanted to take a look at what was "hot" in the Logons category here on WinCustomize. These are logons for LogonStudio XP. I found some really great ones that I will probably start using again. It just shows you some of the terrific skins you can find just by browsing the galleries from years past. Today, lets go back to around late 2005 and see what we find. ...

Monday.....yay! It's always a fun start of the week, but if you were outside on the grill, or just a couple of days of relaxation, you might have missed some submissions over the weekend. No worries, as I labored all morning to find some skins from the weekend that will "brighten" your Monday morning.
Episode 10 is now up, and we have now hit the double digit number of podcasts! This week Mike & I sit down with Seabass, from which many of you might recognize from the forums. Last week was all about the release of Impulse, so Seabass shared his views of Impulse, and was kind enough to give a few support tips that might make your Impulse experience a bit better. The second half of the show we talked about Seabass and his design skills, including a new upcoming suite. If ...
Episode 9 is in the bag and we just keep going and going and going! This week it's just Mike and I, and in this episode we have a great discussion on tech news in general. Specifically this week, we cover the impending release of Stardock's Impulse, Firefox 3.0, the iPhone 3G announcement, and Long Zheng's UX Taskforce. I really the fact that we have an "open" format where we are not stuck in a routine and can adapt each week to what is going on in the skinning commun...
Ah yes....Monday, everyone's favorite day of the week. Since it is the first day of the week we usually go through the galleries and pick some favorites that were uploaded over the weekend. I hope everyone had a great Father's Day, and that you were able to get some much needed relaxation in. Here are the picks in case you missed them this weekend.
If you are a hockey fan then no doubt you know that the Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup last night. They defeated the Pittsburg Penguins, 3-2, in Game 6 after recovering from a home game loss in Game 5. This is the 11th Stanley Cup Championship in the teams franchise history. Congrats Red Wings! To celebrate their win, or just to show off some team pride, you can outfit your desktop with the Detroit Red Wings MyColors theme . You can get a custom visual style...
Since it's the beginning of another month, that means it's time for me to go through the Dream gallery here on WinCustomize and pick some animated wallpapers to feature. May had a lot of .dream submissions including a new Master .dream from TheMasterBaron. Take a look at the video and links to all the featured .dreams are in the article.
In the last couple of articles we have looked at wallpapers and cursor themes from a few years back, so today I thought we could take a browse through the DesktopX widget gallery and see what we come up with. I went back to 2005 to see "what was hot" then. As always, let us know if you remember or still use any of these widgets today.
You have heard a lot of news lately about MyColors, so I thought today I would kick off yet another series of articles. This series will take you through desktop "tours" of the various MyColors themes, and even new WindowBlinds skin and suites. If there is a certain theme you would like to see covered, just drop me a note and I will put it on my list. For now we start off with a look at the Los Angeles Lakers MyColors desktop. Check out the full tour at the link below. ...
A few weeks ago I pulled up some of the popular wallpapers on WinCustomize from about 5 years back. Today, I wanted to do the same thing, but this time with cursors. Looking back quite a few years to around this time in 2004, the CursorXP gallery, now CursorFX, was just buzzing with activity. Take a look at some of the incredible submissions from back then, which are all still great to use to this day. I see several names we don't see m...
Friday is always an exciting day around here....not because of the upcoming weekend, but because it's that time for This Week in Skinning! This week had a real nice selection of skins from a variety of skinners, so be sure to check out this weeks edition of TWiS.
I thought it would be fun to take a look back to around this time in 2003 and see what was going on in the galleries, specifically wallpapers. Going through the hundreds of pages of wallpapers I noticed quite a few familiar names, and some for reasons unknown, we just don't see anymore. Over the years in skinning and customization, we see trends come and go often. Some do stay around, and after seeing what seemed like countless wallpaper entries I noticed that you could still reco...
