On behalf of the Stardock family I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!  

Favorite Skin of 2013?

0
0
As we get ready to close out the year, I was curious if there was one skin that stood out as your favorite in the last year.  Doesn't matter if it's a WindowBlinds skin, an animated wallpaper, or a icon.  

Post your favorite from 2013 with a link in the comments.

 

New Master Skinner Royalty Policy!

Greetings and Happy New Years!

Over the years the time and effort to create quality skins has increased and so effective January 1, 2014, the royalty split between the skinner and WinCustomize is now 70% for the skinner and 30% for WinCustomize (it was previously a 50/50 split).  

We hope that this will the first of many positive improvements that WinCustomize will be seeing this year.

Cheers!

I really like the design as it's quite cool looking, but still functional enough to use daily.  I especially like the start menu design, and that style flows through the entire skin.  It was also a great color choice as it’s not too dark, and certainly not bright.  Bleumart hit the right balance and it shows in the qua...
