I had never heard of OD or windowblinds for that matter. My long time friend buzzh58 had always talked about changing " skins" etc. I yawned at the time. Finally he convinced me to download 1 blind. I still yawned. And as soon as he was " gone" id unload the blind and get back to my safe unskinned world. As he became more interested in wincustomize I decided to force myself to try a little harder to like " change" He and I use to " Theme " together..then one day I found myself " theming " alone....and enjoying it. The rest is History. But..I honestly dont think I would have bothered as much if not for him. These programs were not easy for someone like me that had very limited computer knowledge at the time. He spent hours explaining how to use each program. I was lucky to have had top notch kiwi tech support .

Looking for wallpapers I found this site, then from there I saw the windowblinds section. Then I bought windowblinds, then 6months later I got Object Desktop.

WindowBlinds from skinz.org Thought WB looks snazzy & elegant.

Last spring, I was looking for icons. The ones I downloaded in the past looked old, but in the malware age, I felt uneasy about what I was finding. Along the way, began to read about different kinds of skinning-- plusses & minuses. The StarDock approach made the most sense & the site didn't give me spyware. I tried a couple of apps & just when I wanted more (a day or 2 later), SD released an OD update. I was in hog heaven

I was sick and tired of what I now know as Luna.. Did a google for "desktop themes", and came upon this website.

I just remembered the other part-- why I started reading about different kinds of skinning-- I was frustrated when I would try to change something in windows (ex, colors, taskbar size, icons). Either I couldn't do what i wanted, or it would revert when I restarted the PC. The bad old days

I used to bitch and whine a lot at the guy who came up with it.
