Despite Moment 2, SD fixed the problem, so we have liftoff! Or a desktop screenshot, anyhow.

Post your screenies and new skins, people!

Quoting c242,

Maybe bringing this site to the current decade would help. ;)



If WC were profitable, the staff needed to do all that's needed might not be problematic. Nicht so?

I always thought WC was a part of stardock, i.e. customizations for their paid software and subscriptions?

'And there the cat bites it's own tail', as we say in german. Wincustomize looks and feels dated, You can't attract anyone new with it. Why not at least make it like stardocks site? And for subsriptions: I have been a subscriber for years and seen all benefits of my subscription go besides unlimited downloads I have anyways (Remember subscriber skins?). But that is a discussion for another thread. ;-)

It is, but it has been in the red for yonks. The gaming side pays the difference, I assume. 

All that stuff is far above my pay grade (which is zero).

Maybe there are plans to do just that. I haven't the vaguest idea, tbh. The Gallery and modernizing it with necessary tools, etc. is yet another can of worms. Maybe that's what's holding everything back. Maybe not. Maybe trying to fix it will cause irreparable harm. I truly don't know enough to give authoritative answers. 

Now, how about some gorgeous desktops...not seeing enough of them!

There might be a way to unite them now they're uploaded to the Gallery for moderation, or after they're in the Gallery, perhaps.

I'll have to ask my mod gurus Jafo and Hankers so not modding them atm.

Quoting LightStar,



Great looking icons Carl!



...which should be (and are) up and available for dl. Guten Morgen, Karl. ;)



Thank You, :)

Some trivia: I had 98 icons ready when I began to think about the iconset name, when suddenly I had it: Why not add 3 to it and call it '101' as a smal tribbute to early Depeche Mode, when their music still meant something to me (up to 'Violator' that was). ;) '101' also is the name of their best live-album of all times recorded at The Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA.

I am sure, the next addition to that will be '242'. ;)

I thought Violator was a great album. A more darker sound than their previous stuff. "Personal Jesus", "Enjoy the Silence" and "Halo" are all top notch in my book.

Haha. :D Dein (AI-)Deutsch wird immer besser. ;P



I studied German in high school sixty years ago. My memory isn't what it was, but then, what is?



Das ist gut Doc! :)

Berlin will soon allow everyone to go topless at city's public swimming pools | Fox News

Maybe I'll move to Berlin! :rofl:  

They've allowed that here in Canada for over 20 years! After the initial shock wore off, not many women took advantage of it. It's just one of those things where it's allowed but you hardly every see it.:S  ^_^

To make it clear: Up to including Violator. Enjoy the Silence is the best Popsong ever made to me.

It has been a rough couple of years in the tech industry in general.

Windows 12 Hopefully will change that. A lot of people may have skipped windows 11 altogether (which also affects stardocks profits along with pc makers and other companies) Less people will be skipping Windows 12 though because Windows 10 support will be ending. That may be enough to get silicon valley moving in the right direction again.

It may be a perfect time to update WC!

It doesn't look like there's a way to link them up due to the size of the combined files, Carl. Sorry I didn't have better news for you.

Then I would recomment to leave them as they are. 😊
