Time to let go and for Goodbye
Friday, May 23, 2025 by c242 | Discussion: Community
I've been here an a subscriber since 2001 (user 51 of the freshly new Wincustomize) and used Stardock programs since Windowblinds 1.2. Seen many innovative things Stardock has done (one of the most profilic ones was the pityful abondoned DesktopX) and even more great skins by most talented skinners, most of whom just vanished unfortunately.
I had my highs and lows with Stardock due to the direction some things and programs and support went, which are all past me of course.
The best skinning times are over latest since Windows 10 and I went more and to using the great utilities like Multiplicity, Fences and Groupy. The only 'skinning' tool I used all the time was IconPackager.
This year I bought a Macbook and my interest for Windows customizing went near zero. Still use Rainmeter on the business Laptop + Winstep and Groupy but that's it. So this year will mark the 1st year I let my OD subscription go for good. Of course I use tools on the Mac to alter it's appearance, but that is another story. Too bad Stardock never did anything for MacOS or customizing Macs is a topic here. 
Although I will nearly vanish here, I will leave my skins and profile. Just wanted to say thank You for the good times I had here and wish everyone all the best.
Too many names to mention, You know, who You are.

I'd be lying if I say that it comes as a complete surprise, but doesn't make it less sad to see you go though. Wish you all the best!

I found installing windows 11 on them works the best 😋
