Universe Metal 2004: It's out now!

Monday, May 3, 2004 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News

Turbo-Charge your Windows desktop with Universe Metal 2004! It's a new premium suite that uses Stardock's technology to completely change the look and feel of Windows. It's like running a whole new OS.

Based off of Pixtudio's outstanding Universe Metal suite of yore, Universe Metal 2004 completes the picture with a host of new enhancements:

  • WindowBlinds 4.x based visual style to change your title bars, Start bar, scrollbars, etc.
  • All new progress animations!
  • All new toolbar icons
  • A all new icon package to replace your existing icons that you can use on your desktop, with IconX, or with ObjectDock!
  • A DesktopX 2 based wharf on the right side with quick searches for dictionary.com and google.

Plus:

  • Universe Metal Wallpaper
  • Universe Metal Windows Media Player
  • Universe Metal Winamp skin

And best of all, all of this combined is only $8.95 ($7.95 if you previously purchased Pixtudio Universe Metal).

Sales of premium suites help pay for the running of WinCustomize.com. Check it out at www.universemetal.com

Part of the idea on suites is that any given major piece is worth $8 or $9...

Ok, Ok, I'm buying it... those icons look astonishing! I can't resist the urge!

I got it, am using it, and personally feel it's worth all of the $9 that you pay. Kudos to all the guys that worked on this. Tim D. has a great point: why complain about $8 for a suite when you'd pay that much for a comp. tech magazine (or in my case a couple of mochas at Starbucks). I used to hate the idea of premium suites. But now my feelings are that if they are the quality of the stuff that Pixtudio, Stardock, Tim Dagger, and Skinplant are putting out these days - BRING IT ON!!!

Brad, that's a good point, but if it's a full blown update it should at least contain a logon and a boot screen as well, these days that's a must for any premium *theme*, that's the way I see it. Having said that, I bought it, looks good

I'm so glad that the suite is updated. Question, is there anyone here having a problem on toolbar icons 'cause I don't have it but the animations work well or is it updated again or it has a new link???Thanks.

one question : is this skin-suite completely win 2k compatible ??? I'm seeing a tendency nowadays to make skins compatible with xp-only , prime example being NOT to skin the start-button in win2k at all.

I'd consider buying this suite if I knew for certain it would basically work on both my OS ( 2000 and xp), not just the one.
