Happy July everyone!  It’s great to kick off a new month especially with our friends here on WinCustomize.  Just a reminder that we have the Summer CursorFX contest going on, and we are taking entries until July 11th so there’s plenty of time to get an entry in.  Now for this weeks picks!     Inception by theAVMAN A beautiful set of cursors to match the WB skin, but even looks great on its own.     ...

Summer is heating up and some of the popular searches for wallpapers are for things like tropical, beaches, etc.  I searched through the galleries and came up with my top 5 Beach wallpapers! 1.

I think this is the first TWiS for June, and skins are rolling in faster than I can keep up with.  We need more summer themed skins, so I’m currently thinking up a contest we can run again to make this happen.  Anything in particular you would like to see just let me know!

DeskScapes is a very popular application for both using animated wallpapers and for managing and using static wallpapers.  In an effort to expand the use and accessibility of DeskScapes a localization feature was added so DeskScapes could display a language other than the default of English.   If you are fluent in another language and can translate a language file with it, then read on! The language files can be found in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Object Desktop\De...

The last week of January is here and a great day to publish TWiS.  The first month of 2011 has been extremely productive for WinCustomize, and I have been thoroughly impressed with the amount and quality of skins that started off the year.  Just this month we have added two new galleries – one for Rainmeter and the long sought gallery for ObjectDock Backgrounds.  We have also been working on site functionality and tweaks, so I don’t think WinCustomize could have g...
