I just wanted to do another post about holiday skins since there’s only so much I can fit into one post, and we’ve had quite a few new skins and themes submitted recently.  

It’s a beautiful day in our digital neighborhood, so why wouldn’t we put everything on sale for the holiday? No reason at all!

If there were a murderous robot who took over the Santa Claus gig, you’d hope that kind robots representing Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and other wintery celebrations would band together to curb his annual rampage. Just like Stardock games like Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes, Galactic Civilizations III, Sorcerer King, and Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion could be team up to carve a swath of delight through your PC! It’s possible this is not our finest analogy. Nonethele...

I’m happy to finally announce our newest and last Master Skinner promotion for 2014 goes to neone6!  Neone6 has been a member since 2010, and during that time has shown a real dedication to skinning especially in the WindowBlinds area, but has a wide variety of skins in the galleries.  Andrew brings a unique style to WinCustomize, and has been recommended for promotion by several members of the community, other Master skinners, and fully agreed upon by the staff here at WC. Tak...

At the beginning of the year I posted about a new gaming mouse I picked up.  It was an E-Blue Mazer 2000 which I picked up on Amazon for around $20.  It’s been a fairly good piece of inexpensive hardware, but after a ton of use the scroll wheel was starting to wear down, so it was time for something new. Around the Thanksgiving holiday weekend Amazon had a bunch of Logitech stuff on sale, so I picked up the Logitech G602 wireless gaming mouse for about $44.  That&rsqu...

I had almost forgotten about this, but I was looking for holiday skins today and there it was!  If you don’t remember or weren’t a member of the site, this was a community project back in 2009 in which several community member coordinated to create this really beautiful suite of various skins.  We’ve done community projects since then, but I think this one was one of the best. This is the WindowBlinds skin that was the base of the project which was created ...

The Christmas season is always a great time to get your Windows desktop decorated with a variety of skins and themes including wallpapers, WindowBlinds skin, cursor themes, desktop gadgets, and much more.  We have many holiday inspired skins on WinCustomize, and I’ll be highlighting as many as I can throughout the month.  WindowBlinds skins   DeskScapes (Animated wallpapers) ...

Wow, it’s December already and for some of you I hear it’s a pretty cold one as well.  With that being said, this month’s screenshot thread is open and is a perfect place to show off your holiday desktops.  I’ll be featuring holidays skins in the WinCustomize news area, so be sure to keep an eye out for that.

Steam had their exploration sale over the Thanksgiving holiday, and although they had some decent stuff on sale, I didn't pick anything up.  Mostly because I had the few things I would have gotten, and adding to an already big backlog just doesn't make much sense. Of course, that probably won't matter during the Winter sale.  

Master skinner LightStar has a new WindowBlinds skin published called Yosemite.  This is a great way to have a bit of Mac on your desktop with this skin designed for Windows 7 and Windows 8.  Don’t forget your 20% discount for WinCustomize Subscribers on Master Skins. Yosemite by LightStar
