Wow, I really can’t believe it’s October already. The year is winding down real fast it seems! Well as usual, the beginning of the month means a new Desktop Screenshot thread in the WinCustomize forums. We already have some spectacular screenshots, and since Halloween is this month, I definitely want to see the spookiest desktops you can come up with. Post your desktops to the monthly desktop thread! https://forums.wincustomize.com/365510
Continuing with their recent interview with Stardock’s Brad Wardell, Shacknews.com has posted the second part of the interview. The first interview was mainly focused on Elemental: War of Magic, and this part is a bit more focused on PC gaming in general.
Shack: Right. And I think you have to take advantage of the PC's strengths. Elemental's extreme zoom is a good example of that. That's instantly attractive to a PC gamer, and it's something native to the platform.
Brad Wardell: Yeah, it facilities something that... Galactic Civilizations II had it in 2006, Supreme Commander had it in 2007, Sins had it in 2008. And it makes a big difference--it's something you can't do on a console yet.
As always, it’s a great read. Check out the full interview at Shacknews.

I have been getting quite a few e-mails lately about how to get the latest WindowBlinds beta, among any other betas we are running at any given time. It’s pretty simple to get the betas downloaded and installed, but if you don’t see them in your list in Impulse, you just have to make a slight configuration adjustment. Here’s how. Click the blue button, and that will open up the Impulse preferences. Now just check the box that says “show pre-release versions”. ...

Halloween is approaching next month, and it has always been one of the more popular skinning holidays. I thought it would be a good time to start highlighting some Halloween-inspired skins so you can start getting those October desktops ready. Maybe a screenshot competition is in order.
These are really cool. I was able to demo one at Staples, and I could certainly replace my mouse with this.
