WinCustomize is accepting T-shirt designs, logo designs, etc. If we use them in something, we'll pay you $100 plus give you a few shirts or mugs or hats or whatever it's used on to give to friends and family. Just submit your designs to the Graphics area, the T-shirt ideas is a catch-all. Anything you think might be cool on something is possible. Shirts, hats, mugs, etc.
Well I was impressed by drempels a few weeks ago but this blows that one out of the water. The effects in this are simply stunning. Mouse cursor Particle Effects, animated desktop image (with lighting effects and possibility of reacting to music playing in Winamp). I won't ruin it for you by listing it all and besides I am still playing with it. Just pop along and check it out. The image is with lighting effect and the light follows the mouse. Reflecting on the swimming pool ripp...

Just downloaded the latest release of Winders XP which was moved to Release Candidate 1 today. The install was simple and fast and the OS is running smoothly so far. Looks like MS is sure making some great progress with this OS.
Here are this month's website results: Contrary to what we believed and said at the end of last month, traffic increased significantly this month. Traffic was up an additional 26% this month to around 170,000 unique daily visitors and 351,000 total visitors (up from 271,000 visitors in May).

Stardock has released a new version of its popular GUI customization software, WindowBlinds. WindowBlinds allows users to completely change the Windows GUI to look however they want it to look (like another operating system or something completely different). The program also allows users to add new buttons to the title bar such as roll-up buttons, MP3 controls, program shortcuts, and more. Version 2.2 is significantly faster than the previously public version (2.12 released last Winter)...
A cool little flash series is about to begin that looks pretty good. For all you martial arts people, this is a cool thing.
Stardock has released a free massively multiplayer space action strategy game called Stellar Frontier. In the game, you take command of a star ship and must help the empire you choose to side with conquer the galaxy. As your exploits grow, you gain in rank which gives you access to bigger and better ships.
It appears that eFront finally pulled the plug on skinz.org. It's gone.
This isn't completely new news but the full story from the Admins of Litestep.net have put up news. Litestep.net is down and looks like it'll be down for awhile. Visit the link to find out more.
As this is a "portal" site to other skin sites, I think you should all pay a visit to Skinbase.org. It's a great site and just needs more visitors. You may want to upload some of your wonderful skins there too, to fill out the gaps. With many of the skin sites going down, we should be supporting the ones that are left.
The art group Breed has done it once again with an amazing pack of wallpapers and digital art. Definately something you'd like to stop by and check out.
The Lord of the Rings website now has some pretty cool (NON XP!) wallpaper up. Now if only there were some skins and themes!
The owner of LS2K.org reports that he may have to close his site in the coming weeks.
The WinCustomize CD is now available! It contains most of the skins on WinCustomize that we have permission to distribute -- over 600 megs of skins, themes, and icons. It also comes with two, never before seen skin suites made by Alexandrie and Treetog. The skin suites include skins for most of the sections on the site. Proceeds from the sales of the CD go to pay for the bandwidth used by WinCustomize.
