One of the most popular gadgets on WinCustomize is the SiteChecker by RomanDA.  It's a gadget that basically gives you the status of a given website, which is extremely useful for anyone who owns or manages a website.  This new Master skin version lets  you check multiple sites (up to 5) in one gadget.  You can set the intervals the sites are checked, the site url, and name.  It's one of the coolest gadgets and it has a permanent spot on my desktop.  SiteChec...

Whether you use icons on ObjectDock or on the desktop , WinCustomize has plenty to choose from.  Some of my favorite types of icons are ones that are designed as replacements for application icons.  Some applications don't have very appealing icons, and I'm always happy to see an icon creator give their own version of the icon. Here are some of my recent favorites from the galleries. ...

DesktopX Master Gef has uploaded a new Master DesktopX theme.  Orbital is a resolution independent DX theme with slick interface, and beautiful wallpaper included.  With this theme there are weather, mail, media, and search objects included.

We are now at the third week in Mormegil's "Icon-A-Day 2.0" tutorials.  At Day 11 Mormegil gives us the "down low" on the downloads folder.  I'm following these tutorials very closely and I have to say he makes this look so easy.  I also wonder if anyone is following him as well and making their own icons now.  Does anybody have some works to show off maybe?

Another week goes by, and another Monday is here.  As usual this weekend was full of good stuff on WinCustomize, so here are some of my favorites from the weekend.

For this weeks member spotlight I wanted to pick one of the most popular creators of wallpapers here on WinCustomize.  Say hello to kenwas !  Kenwas does some beautiful work in wallpapers with Vue 6, and I know he has inspired many others to do the same.  He is a Journeyman at WinCustomize and is number 2 in downloads in the Wallpaper gallery with nearly 1 million downloads since joining in 2003. If you ever pick up a 3D magazine such as 3D world, you might...

Impulse continues to grow, and there are so many ideas and features that are being floated around, it's almost crazy.  However, one thing that we at Stardock take pride in is listening to our customers and even potential customers on how to improve upon what we have built.  Community feedback has played a big role in shaping how game updates have been made, and now we can do the same thing in regards to the future of Impulse. Frogboy wrote a more extensive article on this, so...
