Friday is here, so the next edition of This Week in Skinning is here! If you have friends or family that might be interested in skinning their PC's, you might want to refer them over to TWiS, just to show them what they are missing. Now for this weeks picks! LED3: Dot Matrix for BootSkin by sydneysiders This bootskin is match to compliment the LED3 WindowBlinds skin. I'm sure we will see many more matching skins in the coming days. &nb...

Firefox has been updated to version 3.0.1, and this release was mainly a security fix for some highly publicized security issues over the last few days. This update also fixed a few other non-security issus. The update should be available within Firefox, or you can download the full installer at the Firefox website. For those of you running Firefox 3, what is your opinion so far? There has been a lot of mixed reaction in the community, but for me it seems to be a decent upda...
With yesterdays release of DesktopX 3.5, I wanted to take a minute and spotlight some of the great widgets and DX themes we have in our galleries. I'm still amazed at some of the objects and widgets that come from DesktopX, as there are so many that are very useful and creative. ...
Seabass has been playing with particles and animation again, and looks like he decided to take some of them and turn them into cursor themes for CursorFX . The two latest cursor themes are E-cube and World Fair. Both have some fantastic animations, but I especially like the rocket ship design! Drill'n Boss also brings us a cursor theme from the "League of Extraordinary Skinners" suite, that was started at Skinartistry.
One of the things I like to see here at WinCustomize is the members coming together and participating in a community project. The latest project that quite a few of our members helped create is the "One Hundred: A Trubute to BoXXi", which as the name says, is a tribute to long-time WC member and Master skinner BoXXi. This project was organized by community member TheD2JBug , and started a couple of months ago. Today we have the release of the project and it includes quite a few s...
Next up in the MyColors walkthrough is the new Sunny Days theme. This is a great theme for summer, or any time of the year you want that "day in the sun" feeling.
In the last walkthrough I showed you the Spring MyColors theme, and today we have a more seasonal oriented MyColors theme to show…..Sunny Day. This is a theme designed for MyColors, and to find more information about MyColors, you can read through a walkthrough or view a screencast with more information. Visual Style and Wallpaper The Sunny Day MyColors theme has some bright and stunning colors. Sunny Day is the appropriate name for this theme as the visual style as se...
Pelosi is the perfect example of how democrats just don't get it when it comes to oil and energy. This coming from the woman who demanded a bigger plane for her travel. “Making gasoline more affordable would be the exact opposite of what we need to do,” Pelosi asserted. “We need to wean the country off of its dependence on fossil fuels. We can only do this if we discourage Americans’ love affair with their cars and put an end to the frenzy of excessive an...
Stardock’s Impulse is here, and whether you are purchasing a game, software application, or MyColors theme, the checkout process is basically the same. I wanted to write a guide showing just how simple purchasing through the Impulse Store is, and what to expect when your sale is completed. This is the Impulse Store. You can get here by selecting the Store tab in Impulse. As you can see in the notes in the screenshot, you can sel...
Bush has finally done something he should have done years ago, which is to lift the Executive Order on Off-Shore drilling. However, it really won't do much until Congress gets going and moves to take action. I'm also pretty sure they won't, but what else to you expect from a Congress with 9% ratings. Republicans should be making this a primary issue and nail democrats for doing nothing, but once again, I'm sure they are too afraid of being labeled something instead of standi...
This weekend we fired up the Wii and played Super Mario Galaxy for a few hours. We haven’t played it in months, so it was fun to get back into it. It’s a great game, and the kids love it, but I think Super Mario Sunshine is my favorite to date. I do like the Wii controls in Galaxy, and I think it makes good use of the Wii-mote and associated controls. On the PC I fired up Anno 1701, which is an older title, but one of my personal favorites. I have an ongoing s...
Since the iPhone 3G launch along with the 2.0 software update, I have seen tons of reviews about the apps that have become available in the App Store in iTunes. While I have about 3 or 4 home screens filled with applications that are very cool and useful, I noticed there are quite a few missing that i would love to see added, and I bet you would you to. Here is my list, and please feel free to add your own. WordPress . There is no arguing that WordPress is one the...

MB-Assassin for CursorFX by ModBlackmoon This cursor set is highly detailed and worth downloading just for that. Turbine Clock V1 in DesktopX Objects by AVMAN This clock for DesktopX is made to match the Turbine WB skin, and the animations on this are just fantastic. ...
