The day has finally come, no longer will you have a friendly paper clip constantly offering to help make your document creating experience better. No more will you see a bouncing piece of bent metal with googly eyes bouncing at the corner of your screen, begging you to let it help fix the formatting, or suggest a particular word. Clippy, the Microsoft Office Assistant, has been put to rest. His smiling visage will no longer greet us when writing a letter. The Microsoft Of...

Adobe applications, especially Photoshop, have been some of the most popular among skinners and designers in and around our community. One of the big downsides though is the high-price associated with apps like these. Adobe has announced the new Creative Suite 5.5 and a new subscription-based pricing where you can pay for the software over the course of a year, or a month-to-month plan for more short-term needs.

This could possibly open up the possibility for people to get apps ...

One of the latest WindowBlinds skins to make its way into our galleries is Lightyear by 2of3. Inspired by the Toy Story movies this WB skin has a “cartoony” look and a nice shade of colors that isn’t too harsh on the eyes. I definitely recommend you check this one out.

A WindowBlinds skin by itself is a fantastic thing, but when a WindowBlinds skin has many matching skins to go along with it, it just makes it a bit more special. One of the wonderful things about WinCustomize and its community is skinners often come together to do such things, and the results are always awesome. A skin I wanted to feature this week is the Tequila Sunrise skin from navigatsio.

Along with this great WindowBlinds skin, a couple of skinners have joined in and ...

I wanted to start a new feature on WinCustomize, and today I introduce the Screenshot of the month! This is pulled from our monthly desktop screenshot thread in the forums that starts every month.
