This week we are happy to announce another WinCustomize premium skin, and this time it’s actually a suite! Yellow is the latest WC suite, and it includes a sleek WindowBlinds skin by Essorant, wallpaper created by Vlad, and icons from Mormegil. This is one of my favorite skin suites yet, and I’m sure you will also enjoy it. The Yellow suite is available right now for WinCustomize Subscribers, and you can download it from the subscriber resources area.
As one of the people who talks the most about Fences, I found it a bit funny and ironic that when I turned on my desktop PC this morning, I realized my desktop was cluttered with icons. I didn’t mean for it to happen, but I downloaded some application files, some content files, then I needed to update a DesktopX gadget, so I needed to grab some of those files. Before I knew it, the desktop was full of icons.
I fired up Fences Pro, and within just a few minutes I had several Fences put up and all icons placed accordingly. To avoid this problem in the future, I’m going to setup rules in Fences, which is a features in Fences Pro.
We have been talking a lot about DeskScapes 3, but one thing we really haven’t focused on is where to get the cool .dreams, also known as animated wallpapers. DeskScapes includes more than a few .dreams, but you can also find others for occasions such as the winter holidays, games, movies, etc.
WinCustomize.com has a gallery of hundreds, if not thousands of animated wallpapers from subtle .dreams, to ones that will make your desktop an attraction by itself.

The Winter Holidays are nearly upon us, so I thought it was a good time to start posting some holiday themed skins. I know I am already getting my desktops ready, and I will bet I’m not alone. Check out these holiday skins.
I was very upset at the so-called health care “reform” bill that was shoved through this past weekend. It was done in a real shady manner, in the middle of the night on a weekend so media coverage would be limited, and so that protests would be difficult to mount. That is the pure cowardice of Nancy Pelosi, who in my opinion is the worst politician in history. The bill which barely passed with just a couple of votes, had to be rammed through because they know the American peopl...
