Ok ... I'm sitting in Stardock Central now and it's still telling me that it requires Windows XP. I've hit refresh ... no go.
What am I doing wrong?

Works great with 2000 Sp4. Thanks fellas. Now I can finish that new skin I was working on...now that I know it'll be brought up to the WB 4.x standard.
BTW everyone, there's an update for Skinstudio on ODNT as well.

"XP that big A$$ Sucking Newbie OS", is what I use for my windows platform and I am Far from a newbie, for starters it shouldn't have taken you three days to figure out how to turn all that "Newbie Stuff off" which will then give you a os that is much like Windows 2000 but more stable, and has numerous little fringe benifits that 2K doesn't have... Plus it's the platform that stardock prefers at this point because of skinning flexability.... Xp is and evolutionary product of things learned with NT, 3.x, OS2, Mac OS and the the 9x platforms and it works well for the newbie and the "old timer" also.

I don't use Stardock Central, I've had problems with it logging-in in the past and I would preffer not to use it. Will the BETA for 2k be available on the ODN any time soon?
And to the XP, 2k debate. Some of use use both.
XP @ Home
2K @ Work.

Stardock Central is the replacement to Component Manager. The official switchover takes place at the end of the summer.

Has anyone yet figured out how to get a version that works on Windows 2000? (I'm still getting the message that the version on StarDock Central is for WinXP only)

driven01- the Version 4.0(beta) presented in Stardock Central is the one intended for W2K systems in addition to XP (had to check the history to find that out, though). It's working great here, seems perceptably quicker to load and use as well ( thanx Stardock! 
).

Figured it out. You have to set the option in StarDock Central's "Settings ..." menu to "Show pre-release" items.
(Thanks to whoever it was on USENET that pointed this out to me.)
I didn't know that this particular option had existed.

Not that I'm going to use it because I'm using Window Blinds in Windows XP.
But I'm sure Windows 2000 users will be delighted.
