Does anyone know why, after this long, that WindowBlinds 11 and Windows 11 are not on the upload page when uploading a WindowBlinds skin?

Here is a preview of a soon to be released Premium theme called Green Bay. I will be doing all 32 NFL team colors in the future based on their team location, with Miami being the next theme. Let me know what team you would like see created soon! Due to copyright laws, themes cannot be named after the actual NFL teams, and the wallpaper in this screenshot will not be released with the theme but will be released for free. There will be team color related wallpapers with each theme though. Hope eve...

Well, January 2020 I guess is when Microsoft stops support for Windows 7. I was thinking of doing WB skins just for Windows 10, but I thought I would ask site users for their opinion first. Do you think I should continue to design for Windows 7, 8.1 and 10, or just Windows 10? I would really appreciate your input, and thanks in advance!

Thinking of doing a somewhat "Modern" skin here. As an example this is one I was commissioned to do several years ago called Flaty. It was never released and won't ever be, but I was thinking of doing a somewhat modern flat skin for public release. Do you think I should do one or not? I would really appreciate your comments.

I have a bet going with someone on how this question will be answered, so we would appreciate your opinion.   Pretty simple question really... do you prefer the background in explorer windows to be (1) white, or (2) another color that goes well with the skin?   I know what I like, how about you?     To make it easy, just put 1 or 2 in your reply, and thanks for your opinion!

I have now installed Decor 8 on two different Windows 8 PC's, and even though when I run Decor 8 and it says it is v1.05, when I run Stardock Central it keeps saying that Decor 8 v1.05 upgrade is available, and my installed software list says I have v1.02 (beta) installed.

OK, the 7/8 fonts section does not work at all in Windows 7 or 8 in a LOT of skins, cannot even reset the area to default fonts. What the heck is this "Old close button" addition in the Tree/Tooltips area? It says it's for IE7?  IE7 is ancient. How about including images in the help section of new (and even some old) items and a better explanation of what the image does? Sure would have been nice if you would have made the new SkinStudio pinnable to the taskbar too.

Just did an update to SkinStudio v7.4 as reported through Stardock Central this morning and had several installation issues. After installation I noticed that when running it, the About box still said v7.3.  So I went to C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Object Desktop and noticed that there were two folders, one that said just 'SkinStudio' and another that said 'SkinStudio7'. My OD shortcut was set to the old 'SkinStudio7' folder so I had to change it to the new in...

I am finally going to make a post on this problem, but it has existed for ages.  In the latest SKS7, in Theme Part Details, Address Field, Search Field Background, Extra Settings there are font settings for the search field that can be set as far as font color and/or font type, but they do absolutely nothing when you change them in any OS. Why are they even there?

Thinking about porting this over to Windowblinds for XP, Vista and 7 and was wondering if there would be any interest out there?     Any and all comments appreciated!

How do I set Impulse to start up in the My Software tab instead of the My Games tab?  I have the My Games tab hidden (and the tab is in fact gone), but Impulse still starts up showing the games even though the tab is hidden.  I never play games and want Impulse to start in the My Software tab if possible, and if not, then why not make that a feature?  Thanks.

Aztec was a prior premium theme on my site that is getting a total rework and also being made Vista and Win7 compatible. Hope you like it so far and it should be released here on WC as a free theme towards the end of April. Let me know what you think!

Luminosity has now been released on my site. Thanks to vStyler, Sydney, RedNeckDude and WebGizmo's for their assistance and support during the development of this skin. Luminosity applies under Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 and the wallpaper is included in both standard and widescreen formats. Turned out really well I think!  Hop on over to my site at LightStar Technologies to have a better look around, and keep an eye out here on WC for a DX skin and Docks releasing so...
