Are you looking for help with something not covered on this page? Then you may want to check out the WinCustomize Wiki, it's a great resource for all of your skinning questions. Written and managed by users, you'll find the most up-to-date information on a number of skinning tools and utilities.

WinCustomize Wiki

Software

WindowBlinds, IconPackager, DeskScapes... the list goes on. There is a lot of software out there in the skinning world, and it can be a bit confusing. Below are a few of the most popular skinning tools. Click on any of them to get a more detailed description and some helpful links.

Tutorials

It's one thing to read a manual on how to use a piece of software, and something entirely different to have a step-by-step walkthrough detailing exactly what to click and where. Skinning tools, especially those used to create skins are incredibly complex and nothing short of a detailed tutorial is going to help.

If you are looking for more tutorials, check out the Tutorials Category on the WC Wiki.


Community

WinCustomize, at its core, is a community of people from around the globe who want to get the most out of their Windows experience. We play host to some of the most talented digital artists in the world, and can boast a vibrant and active forum community. Below are a few key links for people new to the site and community. We hope they help you get the most out of the site.

Support

No matter how good the tutorials are, or how stable a piece of software is, at some point you're going to find yourself in need of technical support. Here is some helpful support information for when things go wrong.

And remember, you can almost always find someone on Stardock on irc.stardock.com

Essential Articles

Sometimes a member of the community writes something that we consider to be absolutely essential reading for anyone in the skinning community. These articles typically explain some important topics that are otherwise overlooked.

This section will be periodically updated as new Essential Articles are written.
