Happy Birthday, WinCustomize! 17 years ago, in the aftermath of the dot-com bust that took out many popular skinning sites (anyone remember skinz.org?), we launched WinCustomize. It's now the largest site on the Internet dedicated to GUI customization with thousands of user-submitted skins, screenshots, and more. Do you have a favorite download from WinCustomize? Share it with us!

Happy Friday! Today we are featuring a new start button which can be used with Start10 or Start8. The SciFi WFlag by JoeyW8 might be our first start button feature, and it's well deserved. JoeyW8 has a great library of start buttons and this is a great addition. It has a cool design and should go with a variety of WindowBlinds skins or just use it by itself!

For many of us who work with computers all day, it can get a bit boring to look at the same bland desktop all day long.
