I was glad to see they releaed Trillian 3.0, so I downloaded the final release, tried it out for a while, and then uninstalled it. I was thinking after all this time they could at least come up with a new default skin, but no, it's the same one. It still doesn't accept windowblinds skins either. I am going to stay with MSN and I withraw my vote for a Trillian section on wincustomize.

Over the past few weeks I have found myself on the Vista desktop more and more despite the problems I have written about before. So spending this much "extra" time with Vista means I can't get stuck with the basic Aero theme. I have spent a lot of time just trying out different skins and themes on Windows Vista. WindowBlinds has done an incredible job of making XP skins works pretty flawlessly on Vista, and it has been nice to boot Vista and see some of my favorite themes on ther...
With all the new Premium Suites coming out I am having a real difficult time deciding which to use on my desktop at any one time. Last week, Stardock Design and Essorant released the Pantheon premium suite, and it's elegant style will definitely stay on my desktop for a while.

Stardock recently released Aquarium Desktop 2007, and I wanted to take this opportunity to take users on a "guided tour" of some of its features. I'm sure many of your remember the screensaver from years ago that made your monitor look just like an aquarium with fish floating around. However, that was just a screensaver, and you had to wait for the screensaver to kick in before you could look at this virtual aquarium. Well Aquarium Desktop 2007 takes it to the next level. ...

Skin Roundup - February 5, 2006 It's been a while since the last skin "roundup". There is a lot going on, but I would like to take the time to "highlight" a few skins that have caught my eye in the past week or so. Smooth Alternative by Matt Holder Mattt has continued with this skin which was originally "Longhorn Alternative" by Enhanced Labs. This Windowblind immediately caught my eye with it's clean and "smooth" look. ...

Skin Roundup - November 16th, 2005 Looking back at the skins of the past week or two I wanted to feature a few that really caught my eye in the Wincustomize galleries. Over in the DesktopX Object gallery I spotted some objects by MountainDragon from his Dark Glass DX Theme. If you are anything like me you probably want to constantly see what state your computer is in. Whether it's how much memory you are using, or how much disk space you have used, the Dark Glass Meters wi...
