Where did that weekend go?  Before you know it, Monday is here again and time to get the work week started off right.  Here are some featured skins that came into WinCustomize over the past few days!  

The latest edition of This Week in Skinning is up.  It was a great week and we have quite a few wallpapers and WindowBlinds skins featured. Check it out!

The end of the week at last!  We had a great week, and a bunch of new skins, including some additions from the 2008 GUI Champs.  The wallpaper and WindowBlinds galleries were really moving this week, so be sure to check those out. Now for this weeks picks!   More Ribbons by CarGuy1 This is a real nice animated wallpaper, very smooth and nicely animated.   Fortune Box by sc5vtuqi This icon pack is from the ‘08 GUI Champs, and it’s a beautifu...

The folks at Escapistmagazine.com have posted their review of Demigod.  It’s a great review with an accompanying video as well. “Ultimately - and it feels strange to say this - I think Demigod almost does DotA better than DotA does. It doesn't have quite the depth of the older game yet, but it's still young, and it still has room to grow. The gameplay is solid, the map design is really cool, the heroes are all different and yet all fun to play, and really, my biggest gripe (other ...

Every once and a while we like to take a trip back into time, and dig deep into the WinCustomize galleries and see what skins were hot.  Many are skins that people still use to this day, and it’s always interesting to see the styles and designs that people were going for just a few years back. Lets go back through the WindowBlinds gallery to 2006, and see what was going on then.

LogonStudio 1.5 was released not too long ago, and many people have been asking if they can change their Windows 7 logon screens with it.  The answer is yes, but right now Windows 7 support is only provisional, so it is possible you may encounter an issue, but overall it has been performing extremely well First, add LogonStudio to your Impulse account, and download it from there.  This way you will have the latest version available. http://www.impulsedriven.com/LSV Oh,...

I have begun transferring more skins from the 2008 GUI Championships over to the WinCustomize galleries today.  These included a few WindowBlinds skins, couple of Icon Packages, and a .Dream.  I will continue transferring more, but I wanted to feature some of the ones that were uploaded recently.

I was just reading this great feature on Gamesutra.com, and thought you might enjoy it as well. And neither does Brad Wardell at Stardock who ships -- and will continue to ship -- his retail DVDs to stores without DRM. The only validation required of customers is when they go online to update the game they purchased. However, Stardock has developed a relaxed version of DRM, called Goo (no relation to  World of Goo ), that it licenses to interested parties. The first company to m...

The week is just moving through, and there have been some real nice wallpapers coming in to the Wallpaper gallery in the past couple of days. Here are some featured picks!  

Last year, Zoomba and I experimented with a podcast for WinCustomize called the SkinCast.  It got some decent coverage and we had a great listening audience.  Problem was, is that we did it on a weekly basis, at home after a long day at work.  That doesn’t include the post work like editing, getting on iTunes, etc.  We enjoyed it, but it just got to be too much for a limited audience. Since then, Impulse has taken off and we have often toyed with the idea of doing ano...

I took a field trip with one of my daughters to the Brevard Zoo, as part of the 3rd grade field trip for this year.  Despite being a very hot Florida day, we saw some really cool animals and I was able to get some great shots. View Full Album

The latest Master WindowBlinds skin comes from essorant, this one called Criterion.  I was running this skin over the weekend, and it’s just fantastic.  The skin is smooth, and the transparency is just about perfect.  You won’t be disappointed in this one. Don’t forget, if you are a WinCustomize Subscriber you get 20% off master skins. 

If you didn’t get a chance to visit the site over the weekend, I got your covered.  Here are some of the featured skin picks for WinCustomize for the past weekend.
