I wanted to start a new feature on WinCustomize, and today I introduce the Screenshot of the month!  This is pulled from our monthly desktop screenshot thread in the forums that starts every month.  I picked this screenshot from RickJP because of the beautiful colors and the feeling of spring that I showed. The main skin in this screenshot is Garden Fresh by k10w3, and the wallpaper is Where Smiles are Born by vlad.  I see some other skins included but I don’t have the link...

It is back to work for most of us today, and I hope everyone who celebrates it had a great long holiday weekend.  While I spend the next two days catching up on e-mails, PM’s, etc., here are some skins to check out from the weekend. ...

A member requested we create a thread where community members can organize multiplayer games together. Example: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on Friday night at 8pm EST.  Server info, etc.   Lets try this out and see how it goes, and possibly we can expand it.  

A big congrats goes out to xmorg who has won the Fallen Enchantress “Design a Trait” contest !  His trait, Outlaw Connections, took the top spot! “The Hero has spent some time with the lawless and knows a little about how to communicate with bandits. The Hero may recruit bandits he encounters in the wilds, at a small cost of gold and prestige. Bandits can be disbanded and add to the population. The hero cannot propose to marry them. Bandits ma...

A WindowBlinds skin by itself is a fantastic thing, but when a WindowBlinds skin has many matching skins to go along with it, it just makes it a bit more special.   One of the wonderful things about WinCustomize and its community is skinners often come together to do such things, and the results are always awesome.  A skin I wanted to feature this week is the Tequila Sunrise skin from navigatsio. Along with this great WindowBlinds skin, a couple of skinners have joined in...

This is a busy day, but before I forget I wanted to highlight some of the skins that made their way into the galleries this weekend!

On Monday, April 18th we will be performing some scheduled maintenance on WinCustomize and other related sites.  Starting at around 7am EST WinCustomize will be down for maintenance. During this time also expect Impulse logons to be down, and store receipts will be delayed.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.   Update: Everything should be back up now.  

One of the latest WindowBlinds skins to make its way into our galleries is Lightyear by 2of3.  Inspired by the Toy Story movies this WB skin has a “cartoony” look and a nice shade of colors that isn’t too harsh on the eyes.  I definitely recommend you check this one out. Lightyear by 2of3

Stardock’s Tiles is one of our latest additions to the desktop productivity lineup, and as with many other apps, this one is completely skinnable.  A skin editor utility is included with Tiles, and putting together a skin from your graphics is actually quite easy.  You can launch the Tiles Skin Editor from the Windows start menu, or from the Tiles directory on your PC.  The editor window is pretty well laid out, and each section has a brief explanation of what that particu...
