The big holiday weekend is nearing, and we have put up a huge sale on Impulse.  There are some great games you can pick up starting at just a few dollars.  There are also a couple of great applications on sale including Stardock’s Keyboard Launchpad for just .99, and Corel’s CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 for $349!

Head over to www.impulsedriven.com, or open Impulse to see the full list of this weekends deals.

Well we are halfway through the year already.  This has gone by fast, and I bet the holiday season will be here before we know it.  We have started a new desktop screenshot thread where you can show off what skins and wallpapers you are using.

Post your screenshots here - Link

On Wednesday, July 1st we will be performing database maintenance on all Stardock forums.  During this time, there will be periods of outages on all Stardock related forums including WinCustomize, Demigod, Elemental, etc.  The maintenance will commence throughout the day.

We apologize for any inconvenience, but this maintenance is aimed at improving forum performance.  Thank  you for your patience!

Well after a nice vacation of moving boxes and getting our new house ready, I am back!  There is so much to catch up on as I didn’t have internet access for much of my time away, so I’m anxious to hit the galleries and see what’s been going on. 

Here are some featured picks that I found so far!

In the latest edition of the WinCustomize Member Spotlight, we have another valuable member of the community to showcase.  That person is jazzymjr!  She has been a member since March 2004, and has been a big contributor to the WinCustomize community, especially in the WindowBlinds gallery.  Going back and looking through her gallery, I seen a great variety of WindowBlinds skins that while they have a varied style, it always has a signature “jazzymjr” look.

Take a browse through her WinCustomize gallery, and I have no doubt you will find some fantastic skins to use.  Congrats on the spotlight, and keep up the great work!

The Master Skin library keeps getting bigger, and the quality of these skins are nothing less than superb.  WindowBlinds skins are usually the most popular, but we have many other skins like .dreams, DesktopX themes, and more.

These are some of the top Master Skins on WinCustomize.

Check them out - and enjoy...

The end of the month is getting closer and closer, but if you haven’t posted your current desktop screenshot in our monthly desktop thread, then it’s not too late.  This is always one of my favorite threads as it’s cool to see what people have on their desktop on a daily basis.

If you take screenshots on a regular basis, then I always recommend using either SnagIt, or Jing from TechSmith.  They are both awesome apps for screenshots.  Check them out and let me know how you like them.

Head over to our June desktop thread and post your desktop!

Despite the risk to my poor IPhone, I drug it along on the Mayors marathon yesterday so I could record a special thank you to everyone who bought the Marathon icons.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na2MBQqZp3o

With your help, my wife and I were able to raise over $8000 dollars for LLS, If you include all the Team In Training runners who came to Alaska we raised over 1.7 million dollars. 

I will be able to continue selling the Marthon Icons for Team in training for at least the rest of the year, so tell a friend what a great deal they are and what a great cause they support.

Beside all that I want to say a personal thanks, your support made a big differance, and a huge shout out to Stardock for donating 100% of the sales, including bandwidh cost to the cause.

If you want to see more pictures form the race you can follow me mile by mile here. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2027168&id=1124224098&l=4a8051258d
