March 15, 2001 - DesktopX 0.75
Stardock has released DesktopX 0.75 for the general public. This is the first generally available new version of DesktopX since January. The new version is full of tons of new features!
Its at about 3.5 now. Long way indeed.

It's your UnBirthday! (or: roll-your-own skinnable software)
XX, the man myth & legend who created XXCalc at the request of the skinz.org community, has released the source code to XXCalc's skinning engine!
Ok, so he doesn't include the maths portion of it, & the liscence stipulates that you -not- use it for a skinnable calculator.. But skinnable file managers, ftp clients, Teletubby-death-threat-notepads, etc are all up in the air for the making.
Oh, one thing I forgot: you can only get the code if it's your unbirthday (the 364 days of the year which -aren't- your birthday). I had to hold off on posting the news till midnight (When birthday ended & unbirthday started ) ("Happy Birthday" wishes can be sent to here.)

Omg my old site... It's been so long. I don't even remember where my first betazone url was, or I'd have tried to find it again.

Funny to see Russ ( Dangeruss ) complaining about 50 character image names back then.. the more things change, the more they stay the same, fought with a similar issue just days ago over 60 characcter names !
By the way Solid Nuts ,Coincidentally I just raised my rating on your latest Icon pack from an 8 to a 9 not 5 seconds before reading this thread
Good stuff, thanks for the links
