TOON-XP Premium Suite now available!
Tuesday, January 14, 2003 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
If you combined the talents of Paul Boyer & Pixtudio together to create the ultimate suite, what would it look like?Probably something like the new Toon-XP Premium suite! This new suite includes a new visual style created by Pixtudio that has multiple sub-designs and can be colored to any color you'd like, but also supports the new WindowBlinds 4 features such as skinnable Explorer task panes, logon/logoff screens, and much more.
The desktop theme is created by Paul Boyer and supplies a wharf on the right and a cool resource monitoring piece at the top.
The right click desktop menu is replaced with one that is faster and has a link to your most frequently used programs.
And of course, it also includes a ton of excellent icons by Paul Boyer (maker of the Orion icon suites). Each icon supports alpha blending and has resolutions from 16x16 all the way up to 128x128 which makes them ideal for programs like ObjectDock.
And you can pick and choose which pieces you want to use. Only want to use the skin? No problem. Worried that you don't have the software you need installed? No problem, the suite includes a mini-program called ThemeManager which includes the pieces to each program you need to apply the theme. So even if you don't have a given part installed, Toon-XP will automatically take care of it for you upon installation.

I see a Sysmetrix skin screaming to be made from that top bar. I'll give it a shot. I sent an email your way.

Davad: Calm yourself. As has been repeated said to you, the second premium WC suite will be provided between now and the end of the 2 year period. If this is unacceptable, we will happily refund your money.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the subscription going to be for 1 year periods, does that mean we were going to get 2 premium WC suites for that period, but now we are only going to get one per year?

sorry for the double post. If that is so then how about a compromise and do 3 suites for the 2 year period?

Yeah but when I signed up it was for a one year sub then you changed it to two.

Yeah, that is unacceptable considering that there were supposed to be two suites "in the coming year". That was 2002, by the way. However, I do not want a refund of my 20.00. It's not, and never has been about the money for me. After all, it IS only 80 cents per month right? It's about keeping your word, which you personally have repeatedly shown that you have difficulties doing. Keep my 20 bucks and go buy yourself a book on how to treat your customers.

I am on a fixed income as I am retired but to sweat $8.00 for a suite that is as sweet as Toon-XP seems to me to be pretty sad. I subscribe to WinCustomize and I also purchase just about every CD or suite that comes out. It is the best way I know to support a fantastic web site since I could never produce these great skins myself. I also intend to be a permanent subscriber to Object Desktop. I don't mean to offend anyone but wanted to add my 2 cents to the plus side of the leadger. Keep up the good work Stardock.

what i want to know is when is an alpha or beta of WB4 going to be released so that we can actually get to use the features of WB4 that this suite offers?

Agreed, Jark. If I could use it to the fullest, I just may reconsider spending the $ on the suite.
BTW, I hope I didn't sound overly pissed with Stardock/Wincustomize before. I've happily been a subscriber since WB 1.x, and plan on staying with it. I truly think the subscription/unlimited updates model is the way to go! Stardock's stuff is one of the few product lines I happily spend my money on. Otherwise I generally use freeware or registered shareware, finding that the small companies tend to have more innovative, better supported products.

Yes Jark - I can't even count on my fingers how many times a day I check OD for that alpha... because I don't have enough fingers! I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve!
