PIRATE your desktop!
Have Windows walk the plank with this new suite!
Thursday, May 24, 2007 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Transform your entire Windows desktop experience with the new Pirate Premium Suite! This suite, when applied, will change nearly every element of your Windows GUI!
Some users have asked to be "wowed" by Stardock Design and the Pirate suite aims to deliver that WOW.
The suite includes:
- A WindowBlinds visual style (which supports both XP and Windows Vista)
- An icon package that not only has 117 icons but has full Windows Vista icon package support (that means 256x256 sized icons and live folder support!)
- Multiple wallpaper backgrounds
- A CursorXP cursor pack that will work both with the current CursorXP and with the upcoming CursorVista enhanced cursor applying program.
- A new Logon screen
- A boot screen
- ObjectDock background
- A weather, clock calendar, media player gadget!
- And to top it all off, a talking Pirate gadget!
This is definitely one of the best suites ever made. Check out these screenshots below:
NOTE: Requires Theme Manager 2.5 (Object Desktop users use Stardock Central to update).

I can't get it to work at all. The Iconpack is the only thing that works. I've tried the the suite, but, it doesn't show in WindowBlinds. I love the suite, and wish I could get it to work. Any suggestions?

This is what I did ..I used Winrar...unzip Pirate with winrar then click on the Theme manager theme, then go to the top of winrar and click on view.That opens up everything in the theme.You can pick all you want seperately.You will have to manually put the pirate windowblind folder in the theme folders in windowblinds,as well as everything else you want.Hope this helps.

Calendar, when choosing rt-click > Properties > Start when Windows Starts & show systray icon, doesn't remember sttings on reboot. Other Objects/Widgets do. Hmmm...
Everything else is stunning!

I thought the Pirate wasn't working also...I could see his mouth moving but heard nothing..then I turned my sub-woofer up ( it was on the normal setting I always use ) and when I turned it way up I could hear him just fine..he says a lot too ..
Very cool Theme !!

I have not been able to reproduce the non-talking Pirate. Please email [email protected] so that they can find a fix for you.
Also, for those having skin issues, the suite has been updated with an updated skin.

Translation:
For anyone who is having trouble gettng The Pirate to talk: You have to use WMP as the default.
So if I use iTunes, the Pirate won't speak?

The hand is a hook. I guess it would work as a Help Select....but a hook for the hand in a Pirate theme makes sense to me. Arrrrrr!
