In addition to helping keep WinCustomize going, your subscription gains you the following benefits:

  • Unlimited bandwidth use. This equals unlimited downloads of skins, themes, icons, and wallpapers.
  • The WinCustomize System Tray Applet that will update you when new skins, themes, etc. show up.
  • Two Premium WinCustomize skin suites.
  • Coming in 2004: A personal gallery blog page.
  • Coming in 2004: Prioritized bandwidth access for subscribers (faster performance).
  • Coming in 2004: Skin Groups (Groups of users can basically form their own magazines recomming skins, themes, etc.).
  • The WinCustomize Skin Browser (see screenshots of v2 below).

  

  

 

The WinCustomize Skin Browser bypasses all that HTML and hooks directly into the WinCustomize database allowing incredibly fast use of the site.

A WinCustomize subscription lasts for TWO years and is only $20. That's less than a dollar per month.

I'm already a subscriber, but want to find out how much I got left (months). Where can I do this? After finding that out, I will resubscribe for another two years.

Open your WinCustomize Browser and under "your account" you will see a button with "edit account",
there you will see an expires date..

already a recent subscriber, but to all you visiting guys and gals - this place is worth it.

you kinda get hooked. the people here work really hard to give a us a suite of programs and toys that is one-of-a-kind. if you make good use of the stuff here, its VERY worth it to subscribe. hell, i used a .. uh.. demo.. of stardock for about a week, loved it, and bought it for myself so i could have it all. the artists are going places, and the site is great. its unfortionate what's happened to these guys recently 'cause they sure didn't deserve it. but support the place, and chip in.

I was a few days early, I subscribed 3 or 4 days ago, but I'm glad to help, and probably should have subscribed earlier.

Keep up the great work.

Sup Guys:

I finally broke down and purchased a subscription. I was wondering though do all the perks work for subscribers who use a web browser instead of the WC browser?. I have a High Speed Connection and I much prefer using the web browser. But I definatly would like to use the # Coming in 2004: A personal gallery blog page.
# Coming in 2004: Prioritized bandwidth access for subscribers (faster performance).

Just curious. I would use WC browser but I prefer to look at the newset updates and Updated skins. to see if I need to look into one of the libraries. Maybe you could add these features to the WC browser.

You can view the updates in WinCustomize Browser. If you are on the Skins and Themes tab use the Libraries pull down and at the bottom you will find all the things you find in the right side of the wincustomize.com page. If you still really just have to view them as HTML, you can also view them through the browser as well. The browser includes an internet browser also (click on Web browser) it will take you to wincustomize.com (or you can type in another address). I'm glad to see so many interested in WinCustomize. I too love this site and visit it a number of times a day. Only one thing where is version 2.0? Is it coming out soon??????

Stardock and WinCustomize rocks........

v2.0 should come out in January for the browser.


The new subscriber goodies in terms of web features should show up next summer.

I've been saving for a flat screen monitor, but I'm going to deduct $20.00 today and support my favorite site. The monitor can wait

rgr, just signed up for 'two' since I got my wife hooked . I often find new skin sites, but always end up back here, and it's a great 1-2 punch with OD.

I'd hate to see it end.

 I have taken a lot from this site, such as Windowblind
skins and WMP skins and CursorXP stuff and the programs, but I have never given
anything in return. I want to support the site in it’s time of need.
 
These are the things I use...


Windowblind4 currently unregistered

CursorXP unregistered

Log on studio Free

These are the only programs I find useful, so Object
Desktop would  be filled with stuff I don't want to bulk up with.
I would like to register windowblind4. Can I get a
subscription with windowblind4 as a stand alone product?
How do I register under my account, AnthonyR? Is this site
secure enough to use a credit card without sniffage?

I don't really use the WC browser since I am used to just using my web browser and I don't really use any of the other extras that come with subscribing, but I really love the site and I wanted to show my support so I purchased a subscription. Thanks for a great site!

getting the subscription today, does it count if i mail it in? does it count for the subscription drive? *i hope so*

were you drinking eggnog when you wrote this? "(Groups of users can basically form their own magazines recomming skins, themes, etc.)." What's "recomming skins?"
