Some of the themes do look decent for what you can see of them. But I can do all of that with ObjectDesktop so I'll stick with that

Yep...Zakai has it right. WB7, etc. are so intuitive and offer so many options that I'm even starting to use my Winstep less.
However, I do still use it because of it's tremendous functionality.

zakai and doc, have either of you used Aston? I have and it has a lot to offer and can be used along with Stardock products. I would advise you to try it before you say OD is better or can do more because by you saying that you can do all that with OD you are mis-leading people. It's simply not true. Aston is unique and there are things there that are only in Aston. All I'm saying is that you should not talk about something unless you know exactly what you are taling about.

How easy is it to skin (and I don't mean the themes it comes with, I mean for me to make skins for it)

I used to use Aston 1.9. Even made a few skins for it. Haven't used it in quite a while.
I like Object Desktop better.

Bigger screenshots would be nice, even the themes onsite have tiny screenshots.. would def. help sell your product more.
