Retirement of Several Stardock Applications
Friday, August 2, 2013 by Island Dog | Discussion: Stardock Support General
Today we're announcing the retirement of DesktopX, Natural Desktop, and Aquarium Desktop 2009. They will no longer be available for purchase or trial download (in the case of DesktopX).
Existing customers of the individual products and current Object Desktop subscribers (where appropriate for DesktopX) will continue to have access to their registered downloads via their Stardock account. The apps will install and function as normal.
DesktopX themes will continue to be available from the gallery on WinCustomize.

Skinning goes thu transitions, and slow times..as long as there are ugly gui's to cover up and artists willing to share their time and creations, Skinning will go on.. 
It sadens me to see DX go the way side. As a long time user and skinner of the program I enjoyed the vast posibilities DX had to offer.
Unfortunately as time goes on programs are often shelved as the utility or interest drops..Maybe some day DX will be revisited..
RIP DX... we had a good run while it lasted..

I ain't gonna lie. Even though I knew this had to happen, I still teared up a little when I read this. DX was a lot more than software to me. It was personal, was my gateway to this community, all of which I found at a rough time. DX and this place were often therapeutic. An 'era' has passed, and this was part of it.
RIP DX, I'll never stop tinkering. Thanks to all the brilliant folks who made DX great.

I think skinning is also evolving. Here's a wall for a phone...

Actually, that's funny! I was thinking about SMX as a replacement for DX.

I have used Desktopx 4 for a while now without problems. However, on reinstalling my OS, I can not get hold of it anymore and I am sadly missing it. Does anybody know where I can get it?
Previous versions do not do what I want it to.
Thanks

I have been a huge fan of wincustomize and stardock for years now. I look forward to my Friday nites as the week winds down, I sit at my computer and head over to see whats new. I've been getting into all sorts new customizing for my desktop, and have been looking at the desktopX screen shots. Is there any where I can get the latest version on sale some place? Has it been truly rendered unattainable? Those icons look so cool and I would love to create themes on my own.

Is Icon Packager still being developed? One of my favorites.
I have fond memories of chasing down scripting errors to make my objects function correctly in DX. Late nights on chat. Good times. The falling snowflake object? Excellent. Use it every Winter. Oh well. It was awesome while it lasted.
