The StyleXP part is over?
Tuesday, December 18, 2001 by John Hamp | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Turns out that StyleXP ain't free afterall. It's now $20 and the version that they released last month secretly had an expiration date that times out telling you to buy. In other words, they knew they were going to start charging a month ago but didn't tell anyone so that they'd make as many skins as possible. Now they've pulled the rug out from under them.

Note the last comment by Microsoft's Paul Shapiro who outright says that msstyles are not recommended to be used because they are too fragile and that it is not recommended to use software that disables MS's file protection (i.e. Style XP). That should clear that debate up.

Apparently, Paxx, there is trouble in Paradise.
Tony Stratton of TGTSoft also is quoted as saying that "We are barely scraping buy here, if you know what I mean..." over at http://www.themexp.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=499
(The misspelling of "by" as "buy" in the quote may reflect wishful thinking.)
Perhaps the end is near???

I'm not too happy that they seem to be trying to use our name LogonXP. They renamed their xp logonui program today to be LogonXP which is the same name we're using. Hopefully it's unintentional. I've emailed them, hopefully they'll change it back or to something different.

Just read the interview, and it was stated that both WB3 and StyleXP could not be used on the same PC. When I first tried StylesXP I was able to use WB3 on my box also but not both at the same time. Frogboy HELP!!!!!! did I screw up my PC?
It's been working fine since then with only WB3 on my PC. Never had a problem with either.
