they want more of my money?

odd...since I don't have a subscription, and haven't purchased windowblinds, and I just downloaded a skin (which I cancelled since I have no use for it.)

what are you seeing that says you have to pay?

Would you like some lemon with that red herring?

are there any third party sites I can download skins from?

There are a lot of those sites. What did you do to pass your 100MB data limit. Download wallpapers?

I think skinz.org used to carry them. Dunno if they still do.

what does the error message look like that says you can't get the skin to download? is it for all skins for windowblinds, or just one, or have you possibly reached some max download cap, or something?

If you have purchased Stardock software, there is no download restriction. If you're not using the same email address for you account here, as the one used for the purchase, go to Edit Account and use the Cross Reference with your Stardock account feature.

Citizen bschultz1,

Why don't you contribute here by uploading one of your skins or a wallpaper. I don't believe there is a download cap for anyone that has purchased and registered a version of and Stardock product. As for this site sucking ass, I could send you to a quality site like customize.org where you will probably feel right at home.

I purchased the software why would I also have to purchase a suscription? it does say that theres a server error when I click on one of the links for skins, than it says to avoid that pay $19.95 for a suscription ...as if the $49.95 wasn't enough for the program

Brad,

If you have purchased OD you get unlimited downloads here. Go to:

They have to know how to cross reference your email accounts.

bschultz,

first the download cap is set at 100 megs. Now that's hellofalot of skins. I am a moderator so I have to download a lot of stuff to test it before approving it and I'm a bit over that number.

second, if you purchased a Stardock product, the limit doesn't apply. You get unlimited download, obviously.

In a nutshell, the reason behind this 100 megs cap to people who never purchased anything is to stop people who got a warez version of Windowblinds to suck all the bandwidth of this site, as it was the case before.

bschultz,

As paxx has stated, be sure to cross reference you Stardock Customer account with your WinCustomize account: https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?cmd=CrossRef
