I’m a little behind with this, but the latest ‘I Love DesktopX’ article from phenomenal DX skinner, sViz, is up. She has another great roundup from May and she’s taking questions for an upcoming interview with Master skinner Vad_M. Along with that, she has some great DX picks, tips and tricks, and more DX related goodies!
It’s been quite a while since we have promoted a skinner to Master, and I believe this is the first one of 2009. CarGuy1 was nominated several months ago, and with full support from the WinCustomize team, I’m happy to promoted CarGuy1 to the rank of Master Skinner! CarGuy1 has been a WC member since 2007, and since then has focused much of his attention on the Dream gallery , creating some stunning animated wallpapers for Stardock’s DeskScapes application. The .dream g...
I do today. Partly because of packing, and also because I took an older PC and installed Windows Home Server on it. Of course, I need a network cable and I can’t find the box I have them in.
Once again it’s that time for the WinCustomize moderation team to get together and submit their favorite skins picks from the previous month. WOM picks Collider by CarGuy1 ”It flawlessly puts you into a trance.” Lantec went with Spring Potpourri WS by Tippytoenail ”Not exactly my thing but an outstanding piece of work. My wife's favorite wall....” HG_Eliminator chose Chronos DX Clock by Vad_M ”Vad_M Has done it again with another outstanding sub...
In part 1 I went over the components I purchased to upgrade my aging PC. The motherboard and RAM came in on a Friday, and the CPU came on Monday, so my weekend building plans were lost. But once everything arrived it was time to disassemble the old PC and get it upgraded with these new parts. I have to say this Gigabyte motherboard is the best I have ever used, especially at this price. It has a very detailed manual, the board itself is well laid out, and very ea...

I know some people have a hard time figuring out the Obama job numbers, mainly because most of it is pure BS which the media never calls him on. Here is a video which should help.

Well it’s been a few days since I last posted some featured skins, and there have certainly been a ton of them coming in since then. You really have to look sometimes because you never know what you might miss just by casually browsing the galleries. So here are some featured skin picks!
We at Stardock are excited to announce the availability of WindowBlinds 7 – Beta 1! WindowBlinds is an application that allows Windows users to change the visual styles (skins) of Windows Vista, XP, and now, Windows 7. This is the first release of WindowBlinds for Windows 7, and as of right now there are no “new” features added. The main point of this release is to get WindowBlinds working on Windows 7, and then add the “pretty stuff” later in development. I cannot str...
