The HP Envy series is a very sweet line of notebook PC’s.  Aside from strong performance from “under the hood”, the Envy series has a sleek look on the inside and out.  Part of that comes from the addition of both Fences and MyColors from Stardock!

Laptopmag.com has a review up on the Envy 14, showing the desktop with both Fences and MyColors.

We have been talking about this for a while, but checking today I see that WindowBlinds has surpassed 16 million downloads on Download.com!  That is a lot of downloads, and Download.com is actually where I first discovered WindowBlinds quite a few years ago.  Thank you for your support over the years to help make WB a huge success!

To celebrate I will give away a copy of WindowBlinds to a random commenter for themselves or to give to a friend.

I’m doing some research for WinCustomize and I have created a quick survey about wallpapers and WinCustomize.  I would appreciate it if WC members could take a moment and fill it out.  It will help us get a better picture on how to develop the future of WinCustomize.

Back to the daily grind it is!  I hope everyone had a good weekend, and for me, I really can’t wait until this heat goes away.  Since it’s Monday, extra amounts of coffee are on hand, and it is time to recap the skins from the weekend.
