I purchased 8.1 some time ago but do not have any links to WB 10 on my download page. Any idea why ??

 
Because WB10 is a new version number, therefore that is a paid upgrade.

Island Dog: DO NOT INSTALL ICONPACKAGER ON WINDOWS 10.  It is not supported, and will cause issues.

 

Is there a future for Icon Packager?

That feature is not available on Windows 10 due to the changes to the OS.

But you can do it in SkinStudio, I think. I know you can add color.

Just purchased.  It skins everything but the Start Menu.  The Windows 10 Start Menu seems to be ignored by WB10 on my system for some reason.  Am I missing something here?

The Windows 10 startmenu is not designed to be skinned.  Microsoft chose to make it that way unfortunately.

Purchased and installed..no problems, everything skins correctly except the Win 10 start menu which does not skin at all.  Am I meiising something here?

  You will need Start10 installed for WB's to skin the start menu.

OK thanks Neil, I had it installed but un-installed before I installed WB10 thinking that Start 10 would conflict with WB10.  Thanks again for the info.  Re-installing Start 10 :)  Also, sorry for the multiple post.. didnt think they were getting posted. :rolleyes:

Didn't have a chance to try that

I keep falling for this, but I don't seem to learn. The post on the WinCustomize main page shows the date "Tuesday, 1:00 PM by Island Dog". When I go to the post I then remember that it is Tuesday, March 15th, almost 3 months ago! Do you suppose that your web page designers could add the date instead of just "Tuesday"?
