Happy August...can't quite believe it's eight months into 2019..but it is (well, almost).
Hope you're enjoying your summer...with great photos, vacation adventures and all the wonderful skinning on WC!
Can't wait for Lightstar's "Fury" to come out!
Here's my desktop. The image in PS is from a trip we took to the Galillee. Post yours, as well!

Here's another Supercar shot with one of my favorite WB's, Sintrone by 2of3.
This is nice, Sintrone is one of my favorite skins too, it is so well done and it is one of the few skins that I do not experience font color conflicts, ie dark font on dark background.

I installed Zorin-OS on one of my external hard drives and Ilike it quite a lot. I still need some more learning but I think it is a good OS.

"I wish that was WB."
It is very usable and you are able to change themes (only a few with my version), I even like the light colored themes.

Looks very interesting. I've got my old PC laying around doing nothing. I need to get everything off of it and then I may install Zorin on it.
What problems have you encountered so far Ken?
Did you go with the free version or the paid?
Inquiring minds want to know!

Chuck, if memory serves, it looks like Ken went with the free version.
I seem to remember the free only had a few themes. There were other restrictions too, I think. It's been a while since I ran Zorin. Nice OS. Linux based, I believe.
The paid version isn't that expensive. $13.00 and less on eBay. $39.00 from Zorin.

Shades of gray in square boxes... Can't be hard to do for WindowBlinds...

Jim is correct, I went with the free version, I wanted to try it first before I bought it. Besides a lack of themes, I am not sure what other restrictions there are. I like the fact that I am able to install windows software (not all may install). The only problem that I have experienced so far is that I could not get my 3rd party sound card driver to install which is not the end of the world because the original sound card works. I might still be able to install the driver by using the terminal but I have not got that far yet, I am using Windows 10 as my default OS and only boot up Zorin if I want to try to learn something.
Zorin (perhaps the paid version more so than the free) comes with a lot of programs already installed or programs that you can install, I just installed foobar2000 for example.
The biggest learning curve is knowing how to use the terminal with its command lines but Zorin is usable without having to use the terminal. My intentions are to have Zorin as a backup OS for now and if I use it enough and get more familiar with it I might make it my main OS, I would love to get away from MS but the downside of that is loosing skinning abilities.
