This Week in Skinning-January 28th
Skin Roundup for 1-28-11
Friday, January 28, 2011 by Island Dog | Discussion: OS Customization
The last week of January is here and a great day to publish TWiS. The first month of 2011 has been extremely productive for WinCustomize, and I have been thoroughly impressed with the amount and quality of skins that started off the year. Just this month we have added two new galleries – one for Rainmeter and the long sought gallery for ObjectDock Backgrounds. We have also been working on site functionality and tweaks, so I don’t think WinCustomize could have gotten a better start to the new year!
Now for this weeks picks!

It’s been a long but great week here at WinCustomize. The WindowBlinds gallery is getting slammed with new releases (a good thing), and our newest gallery for ObjectDock Backgrounds and Rainmeter skins are also filling up as well. WinCustomize is starting the new year off great, and lets keep it going!

This Week in Skinning–January 14th
Skin Roundup for 1-14-11
Friday, January 14, 2011 by Island Dog | Discussion: OS Customization
I’m sure glad it is a Friday, how about you? This was an exciting week at WinCustomize as some great changes have already been made. The long awaited ObjectDock Backgrounds gallery is open and is in the processing of building up so you have one gallery dedicated to backgrounds. We also have launched a Rainmeter gallery which is in private mode right now while we get submissions taken in. For just a couple of weeks in to 2011, WinCustomize is already off to a fantastic start.
