Help For Uvah

RedneckDude — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 9:42:08 AM -0500

Guys and gals, I have been asked to orchestrate a help for Uvah effort ( not by Uvah ). I know that this awesome community is ready to help, as was the case with the Wiz in Need thread. I am willing to be the go between, in an effort to see what Uvah needs and how to get it to him. This isn't about me doing anything great. I did little for the Wiz thing, and I'll be in a similar role here. It's about helping a community member who is down and out. That said, the link in the OP...

STOLEN

Uvah — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:34:55 PM -0400

Between 5:35 and 6:00 last night my laptop was stolen. Now...I've never been one to bitch about anything but this tears it. I get up to use the bathroom, five minutes and I come back and its gone! Everything I had was on my laptop, everything! A book I worked on for the last six years and was close to the final revision, gone! All the graphics I was given to build the smx for vStyler's Master WB's gone! Every damn thing I had is gone. Bad enough I have to struggle every damn day just...

R.I.P. 2007 Suite Walkthrough

Island Dog — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 12:57:07 PM -0400

Halloween is always a great time of the year for skinning as there is so many creative submissions that have to do with Halloween. One of my favorite premium suites has been the R.I.P. suite that was available to WinCustomize subscribers. It has been updated this year for both Vista and WindowBlinds 6 , and includes a new wallpaper and weather gadget. The suite includes: WB6 Animated skin for Vista & XP Icon Package for Vista & XP Wallpaper in 3 Resolutions Clock Gadge...

Recording Desktop Videos

Island Dog — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 1:48:31 AM -0400

I recently posted an article telling users about subscribing to our YouTube channel and group. Posting your desktop screenshots is pretty common on most community forums, and is pretty simple to do as you can simply press the "PrtScn" button or use one of the many utilities that are out there. Now we have desktops that are using Stardock DeskScapes for animated and dynamic wallpapers, widgets and gadgets that have animations, and plenty of other skins that have some kind of animatio...

Its been a long time since I completely got back into Stardock again..

LittleBearJason — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 2:14:56 PM -0500

From medical issues , to financial issues, I am finally stable , back on my feet again. And thanks to Windows 7 , This allows Stardock to really show what their company is made of. They never cease to amaze me as they are always working hard to push the envelope of technology. Since the release of Window Blinds 7.0 , its been a great experience. Aero texture frames, Aero Colors , etc, its very exciting to see. And the Beta's of ODNT apps like Desktop X and others. Looks cool! I would have spent ...

Stardock, Halloween Style!

Zoomba — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 3:56:07 PM -0500

Every year here at Stardock, we do a Halloween lunch and encourage everyone to show up in costume. We give away gift certificates for Best Costume, Most Frightening Costume and Most Creative Costume. This year we had a great turn-out and the lunchroom was absolutely packed with frightening vampires, sith lords, mass murderers and hilarious bobble-heads, old men, cowboys and more. And, as I’ve done in the past, I come bearing some great photos for your viewing pleasure. ...

Do you have to be apart of a click?

EZSEEK — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 7:46:31 AM -0500

Hay all, I know I am new to creating wallpapers in here, but yet have been here for what I feel is a long time now, and have seen this place grow.. Now I don't know about Articles and the people since I was more in to creating for friends ,and helping people with pain on line most of the time back then, but it seems you have to either know someone in here and be close, or be apart of a click, or I am just missing something?.. I have been putting all kinds of wallpapers out like crazy, but yet ...

GUI Champs: Vote for Most Usable & Original Dreams!

Zoomba — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 11:30:29 AM -0500

The first event of the 2008 GUI Championships is officially underway! Today we begin the popular vote phase of the Most Usable and Most Original Animated Wallpapers (Dreams).

Over the weekend, the judges reviewed all of the submitted Dreams (32 of them!) and cast their votes for what they thought were the most usable and the most original Dreams. Based on their votes, below are the ten finalists for the two events.

You can see Brad Wardell's scores and comments on all the Dream entries here.

Voting this year works a little bit differently than in years past. This year you have three points to distribute in any combination you like to the finalist skins. You must distribute all three points before submitting your vote however. You must also be logged into the site.

MyColors and Theme Manager

mickeko — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 8:49:21 PM -0500

These two apps are definitely redundant. There's really no need to confuse the world with both apps. A less redundant and confusing solution would be to make Theme Manager only have a section for MyColors themes, and add a Theme Manager Plus version (for OD subscribers) with all the bells and whistles that the current one has. Just my few cents...

Wincustomize: Personal Sites

Island Dog — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 4:33:54 PM -0400

With WinCustomize 2007 launching recently I wanted to highlight a feature that some people may have overlooked.......Personal Sites. I wanted to take a more in depth look at them, and show you how to create and use your personal pages here on WinCustomize. They are now available to registered users (Citizen and up), and you will get your own personal page with a photo album, guest book, and a sub-domain such as http://islanddog.wincustomize.com , and more! The first thing you ha...

October 13th Skin Thoughts and Reviews

wulfn1 — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 11:57:51 AM -0400

This week, with the GUI Championships upon us, I wanted to find something special. I didn't have to look very far. The very first page had a great blind that stood out and , really I think should have been entered. (But I'm glad it wasn't!). Azul HI-def in 3d by the AVMAN is a brilliant skin with features you won't see in other blinds. For one, the start menu gives the illusion of being offset and made of something more solid than a bitmap. The colors are blended in a way that...

Halloween Skins!

Island Dog — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 1:58:33 PM -0400

October is rapidly approaching and that means Halloween is also around the corner. Over the past few years we have had an abundance of Halloween-inspired skins submitted to WinCustomize. These range from everything from animated "creepy" cursors to some fabulous wallpaper designs. Around the second week in October or so, I am going to start compiling this years edition of the Halloween Skin Guide . While there are plenty of skins already to use, I'...

October 6th Skin Thoughts and Reviews

wulfn1 — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 7:52:10 AM -0400

This week, I concentrated on simplicity and decided not to have too many things on my desktop. I found this is a good thing, as I have to look up each of the icons I chose for Object Dock+. I used the WindowBlind October by NighTrain . I thought it was fitting. This blind is a warm pumpkin color with stylish window frames. It really does say October! I decided to use Element by skinhit for my IconPackage. There are quite a few orange hued icon sets, but the ba...

September 29th Skin Thoughts and Reviews

wulfn1 — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 7:00:59 AM -0400

This week I thought I'd say good bye to summer, with one last fling. So, before we start seeing oranges browns and skeletons, I thought I'd bring some summer color to the screen. To begin with I chose a perfectly summery windowblind skin, in the form of Watermelon by Imzadi . This is a cutsie skin, without being sappy sweet. Refreshing, like a real watermelon. I enjoyed the way the programs menu and other submenus have a gradient shaded theme, starting with lightest up by...

September 22nd Skin Thoughts and Reviews

wulfn1 — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 2:14:23 AM -0400

This week , I played with Vitrex by pixel-z . It's a clean skin, without a lot of doo-dads. The window borders are artistically worked in a way that creates a look of several pages , or a pane behind the window. I like the combination black and sky blue creates, and though I felt there was a lot of white in the skin,it balanced out to a point that I found I was enjoying this skin the more I use it. I matched the colors with Brilliance by Bris...

September 15 Skin Thoughts and Reviews

wulfn1 — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 12:58:45 PM -0400

(Better late than never?) I wanted to do a red theme this week, but was unsuccessful in finding a good number of red skins that worked well with my system. I managed to salvage my idea with just one skin , Thundera by Z71 . I wasn't really thrilled about using this skin because it looked kind of light in color, and it has a cat on it..(wolves, cats,...don't really mix...) but I tried it , because I was running out of time and options. I am glad I did. Despite the cat, this...

September 8th Skin Thoughts and Reviews

wulfn1 — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 11:15:55 AM -0400

This week I downloaded a translucent blue skin that I am finding is very versatile. I have created several different looks with just the one skin; SeaBlue by Cavan1. Here I showcase two of those looks: The first look I created, I used a wall that was in my collection. I had problems like I did last time I did that, because I couldn't find the wall on the library page. It turns out I had to use the link to the windowblind that the wall came with, which is Smooth X by The ...

September 3rd Skin Thoughts and Reviews

wulfn1 — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 1:25:38 PM -0400

A Simple study in blue, I have been away for quite some time , with many irons in the fire this summer. But I am back to bore you with some more of my "home decorating" ideas! For the first day back, I created this very brief , and quite simple theme. I decided not to include any DesktopX , RightClick, or ObjectDock themes today, as I still have little time to devote to the subject. Castaway by CasualTraveller , Though still a Vista theme ,...

What are you "working" on?

Island Dog — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 9:20:01 AM -0400

I was just curious to know what everyone is working on at the moment. I was wanting to make a Valentines Day widget, but I don't think I will have time to finish it before then. If you have any "teasers", feel free to post them if you wish.

July 21st Skin Thoughts and Reviews

wulfn1 — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 1:28:45 AM -0400

Gonna use one skin this week and take it several different places for you. 100: A Tribute to Boxxi by Pandorra (aka KittyMalone) This is a beautifully worked skin that showcases the talents of two skinners in such a stylish way. Boxxi's work has always leaned toward the flowing lines of Art Deco , giving his works a look of something you'd see in the home of a 1920's flapper. Combining that style with Kitty's breathtaking artwork is a real winner here. The two styles complimen...
