Download .com might not ok this and put it up but it is the truth.
I'll try to be Short so people will read this.
In September 2002 I was searching the net and local computer stores for a way to customize my computer, to make it mine. My search lasted two weeks, with a lot of deleted programs, that didn't do what I wanted, or just did not work right. Also a lot of websites where I had to buy and could not try the stuff first.
Then I tripped into wincustomize where I could Download for free, Skins for programs I already Had. It was a dream come true. Then I noticed there were Skins for programs I didn't Have, with links to get The programs, so I could use the Skins. They made it so easy.
So I downloaded windowblinds free and tried it for five minuets. It was so good, I Went right back on line to buy it. Then I saw I could get Object Desktop:Network Edition for $49.95.
I didn't even know what it was but windowblinds was so awesome, And it came with so I figured How could I go wrong for $50 cheap. So I got it. With Component Manager (came with) I downloaded all the programs. It was so easy.
I was up all night playing.
Object Desktop came with a Host of programs for customizing every pixel of my computer.
It was a lot to figure out (cause I got so much for my $50) but I took it a program at time. It was fun.
Sure maybe there were a few bugs but all computer programs Have Bugs, Nothing that I could not easily deal with. All and all the programs worked remarkably great!!!!!!!
I won't list all the programs it takes to much Space but I love them all.
Then I went to wincustomize and downloaded skins to my Hearts content for free.
At wincustomize they have wallpaper and skins by the thousands all made by artists with endless talent, My Hat is off to all the artists that toil to make these skins, And get maybe a good word once and a while as a comment left by a very Happy computer user. Also at wincustomize they have a message board where you can get Help and questions answered 24 Hours a day 7 days a week.
By Really patient people.
They are always eager to Help Every body even people who don't deserve It!!!!
So on a scale of 1 to 10 I give wincustomize and Stardock and all who made it possible a rating of One thousand. Thats the truth no BS.
Sincerely Jeff Schuyler

Can any of you imagine working without Object Desktop modifications?

I only use certain parts of Object Desktop but couldn't imagine having to go back to plain vanilla Windows XP....

I also love Object Desktop ( I also use just a few of the many components) and all that goes along with it. All the folk at Stardock and Win Customize, and all of you super skinners.....you're all the greatest!!!!!

I'm still using Win 95 but plan to update. Using the free downloads for now but will go full on with Window Blinds when I do upgrade. All I can say is thanks to all the talented people out there. I'm afraid I flunked stik figures because I made the feet to big but I will continue to appreciate all the wonderful folks that share!!

Citizen Iben, You've said it all. And I totally agree with you and all of the people who took the time to comment on your "short" note.

I am in my third year of Object Desktop subscription and cannot imagine having a computer without it. I use, daily, Windowblinds, IconPackager, ObjectBar and now DesktopX. I just love IconX. It gave new life to my old computer with Win2k on it.

Iben, Grrrrrrrreat post! I did the same thing too (regarding posting a thumbs up and a message on download.com) and I signed up to put my 2Cents in but I mentioned wincustomize website and I dunno if they accepted my imput either but yours was more succinct anyhow!
