Wednesday, July 9, 2003 by I.R. Brainiac | Discussion: Stardock Software

I bought SkinStudio XP But when i look under the "help about" it says just SkinStudio ver. 3.0.0 build 619.No reference to XP.Is this SS XP?Also i see references to SS ver.3.9.?.Is this the newest version?Which one am i supposed to be using?Stardock webpage is a little unclear about this.

Isn't the SSXP package a combo WindowBlinds, and SkinStudio? Same app, different way to purchase it, I think.......

From the website.............  https://www.stardock.com/products/skinstudioxp/media/

What SkinStudio XP is

In essence, SkinStudio XP is WindowBlinds 3 bundled with SkinStudio and optimized to work only on Windows XP. It will not function on any OS other than Windows XP or later.  When you install SkinStudio XP, your appearance dialog is modified to support additional visual styles along with new buttons to make it easier to add, delete, and edit them.

Latest non-beta release is 3.00.008. Only Object Desktop subscribers have access to betas.
If you go here  http://https://www.stardock.com/support.asp  and enter your email address, you will be sent an email with a link to the latest release.

Then my guess would be that 3.0.0 build 619, is the same as 3.00.008.

Brainiac, make sure Stardock Central is set to show pre-release versions.
I show SkinStudio 3.92d[a].002 released 7/8/2003
That will be 3.9.2 build 707

pictoratus....  I'm assuming he doesn't have an ObjectDesktop subscription, because if he did, he wouldn't have purchased SkinStudioXP.

Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to tease you.

ObjectDesktop is worth it though. And you may be able to get an upgrade price.
