The start of a new month is here again, and aside from a few jokes, we also have the start of the monthly desktop screenshot thread here on WinCustomize.  This is the spot to show off your desktop that you are using everyday, and highlight some of the skins you are using on your desktop.

Post yours in the forum thread too.

Some of you have already seen this, as it went up a few weeks ago, but I wanted to announce it today so you can enjoy through the weekend.  This is the latest WinCustomize Subscriber Skin called BlueOS.  This is a minimal skin that doesn’t put too much strain on the eyes so it is perfect for everyday use.



If you are a WinCustomize Subscriber, head over to the resource page to find the download.

With the launch of WinCustomize 2010 we have also made changes to the subscription plans, mostly dealing with the cost of becoming a subscriber and renewing as one.

Previously, $29.95 was the price for both a subscription and renewal per year.

Now the cost of a 1 year subscription to WinCustomize costs just $19.95.  When the time comes to renew, it will be just a low price of $9.95.

Summer is rapidly approaching, and I wanted to get ready for it by having a Summer skin contest where just about everybody can participate.  Usually, we focus on one item, such as just wallpapers, but that limits too many people.  This time it is open to all skins!  Whether it is a CursorFX theme, a wallpaper, .Dream, or anything else available on WinCustomize, it will be accepted.  All that is required is that it is inspired by the Summer season.

This is just a fun co...
