Wednesday, December 31, 2025 by DrJBHL | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Well, folks...here we are, together on New Year's Eve...with the desktop you chose (almost) unanimously.
WB/Winstep theme is Evolve WB by Master BoXXi, Winstep by Masters DanilloOc/WebGizmos and brought to you by Winstep Technologies/JcRabbit, wall by me and AI nano Banana.
To all the great, hardworking folks at Stardock, and to all the great people here at WC...to our community whether active or not, the happiest, healthiest and bestest (yes Jafo, that's a word 
) new year EVER!
Doc

This one looks good. I just checked it out myself. I think most skins run pretty good, win 7 on. It's the XP ones that are the problem.

Most older skin just need to be updated, some Start panel items just don't stretch out properly.
Thank you,

I like seeing all these. Though mostly silent, I am almost always around, appreciating. ♥

I appreciate all the fine words, everybody. Here's another screenshot showing the start menu:

Thanks Seth!
BTW, I know there is that white bar, and the start menu is just black. MS is still doing updates on windows 10, until oct 2026. So I thought I'd try the windowblinds again.

They are??? I was given a notice from MS in Oct. 2025 that my system was finished receiving updates, and suggested I upgrade to a new computer with Win. 11. So, I installed 0patch Pro to keep my system safe instead. And it's doing a very good job doing just that. Did you get a 1-year extended support from MS, Barb?
Hey, Reaper. Thought the MS option free updates for a year was discussed in forums. Glad you're happy with 0Patch.
Anyhoot:

Anyway, I would rather support 0Patch, than have to deal with MS's BS! And there's no rebooting with 0Patch! Reply #54 Monday, January 19, 2026 10:56 AM

I guess I didn't read that post thoroughly, Doc. Anyway, I would rather support 0Patch, than have to deal with MS's BS! And there's no rebooting with 0Patch!
Fair dinkum! I give folks a choice. Some want free because their machine is old (like "them me" 
)

What does the start panel look like? I have found that on older skins that sometimes the start panel doesn't look right.
