WinCustomize Subscriber Skin Recap

Tuesday, January 27, 2009 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News

Just last week, we released the latest WinCustomize Subscriber Premium skin, Aero Frost.  This is one of the benefits of being a subscriber to WinCustomize, along with other benefits like unlimited downloads, ad-free browsing, and more.

We currently have a subscription drive going to help cover the WinCustomize 2009 redesign.  We have some really great features upcoming, and now will be a great time to subscribe. 

Here is a recap of some of the most recent WC Subscriber skins, and we already have several lined up for release soon!

I dont agree.these so called subscriber skins are frankly not worth the subscription.especially the aero frost skin-its like vista with some lighter tones.nothing special...community skinners,like vstyler,jj ying and butch123, are making far more quality and better looking skins than these.and they're free.and their master skins are totally worth the money.sorry stardock but thats my humble opinion. (btw, dont make fun of my poor english).didnt mean to offend anyone..

There's always someone complaining about free stuff

This stuff is not free. I pay 30 dollars for subscription and I am OD subscriber as well. So if not to use wc browser, what do I get? Advertisements are irrelevant to me- are there many of them on the site or not...At least 6 skins a year would be ok for subscription price. But in reality I got only some 3-4 per year being a subscriber... So stuff is not free...for me as ordinary consumer is irrelevant is WC separate company or not. I subscribe primarily for the stuff and I do not think myself alone here.

Unlimited downloads from all the galleries.

Unlimited downloads if you do not know I get already as OD subscriber, so this is not any valid argument

I believe, and I do always reserve the right to be wrong, that the initial purchase of Object Desktop comes with a 1 year subscription of WinCustomize. After that, the WinCustomize subxcription does not renew with the renewal of Object Desktop and a person is subject to some download ceiling if they do not renew the WinCusomize subscription seperately. I'm also under the impression that everytime a person then purchases something from Stardock the download ceiling is reset. If I'm wrong about that, by all means someone correct me. For that matter, it would probably be good for someone appropriate to confirm it as well.

No, WC subscription was always separate, at least from my personal experience, and no download ceiling for OD subscribers while that subscription last...

WinCustomize and Object Desktop are two completely different products, and one is not included with the other.  If you are a current customer, you do get unlimited downloads but not other benefits such as premium skins.

It hasn't been a year yet

But in reality I got only some 3-4 per year being a subscriber...

Since we started the different subscription format, it's only been about 9 months,  During that time, we released 6 subscriber premiums.  One of those 6 (Halloween) was a complete suite.

I was talking in general not taking into account new subscription format and time period it exists. Especially because the start of new subscription format was not emphasized very much. But ok, let it be I may take my words back after 3 months and say sorry I was wrong, we will see...
