WinCustomizing like it's a big DVD
WC Browser v2.0 preview
Wednesday, March 30, 2005 by Frogboy | Discussion: OS Customization
The people who purchase WinCustomize premium subscriptions, or as they're known in the office "Givers of life and food" get a lot of really cool stuff. Of the 3 million people who visit WinCustomize.com each month, fewer than 0.01% of them purchase a WinCustomize subscription. Perhaps it's because people don't know all the cool stuff they get such as the photo album support, the personal pages, the unlimited bandwidth use, the premium suties.
Or perhaps they don't know just how cool the new WinCustomize Browser 2.0 is going to be. Now, if you have Stardock Central and a WinCustomize subscription, 2.0 will automatically integrate itself in when it comes out in the next several weeks. Some of the new features are cosmetic, but a lot of it is under the hood stuff.
The WinCustomize.com browser bypasses the website and goes directly into the databases. In effect, it turns our many gigabytes of content into a virtual DVD for you to peruse. The new version in beta integrates into the new design and underpinning for the site. For example, you can view the skins, themes, wallpapers, etc. in many different ways (thumbnails, details, etc.). The new version can bring up thumbnails very quickly. The new forum system is integrated into the latest build and it's hard to go back to slogging through the website to visit forum posts once you've used what's in WC browser.
If you don't have a WinCustomize premium subscription, you can get it HERE. It's only $20. And you get an amazing amount of goodies for it.

| since it was first intergrated into SDC |
Is that the 'Skins and Themes' item in the list on the LHS?
You still need to be a WC subscriber for this to work tho' right? I'm an ObjDesktop subscriber but all it shows me is the web pages promoting the virtues of subscription but no WC access.
Am I entitled to access because of my OD sub? Not that it worries me that much either way - I've gone all these years without missing it!.

If that means faster, then I'll use it

I'm looking to get into skinning my machine more in the coming months, so I'm going to keep it in mind.
