My Object desktop runs out sometimes this summer...Will I renew it ?
Absolutely.

Its a shame most dont understand how much they don't get with the free shareware versions. I have learned how to do things I never thought i'd be able to do. The price is very minimal for what you get. Besides all the stuff everyone shares with you for " Free " You have the programs that allow you to create or alter to your own needs.
You talk about spending money for something " virtual " but im sure you wouldn't blink at $70 for a Video game.
Give yourself a gift thats more than a game.

Citizen MountainDragon, I only get the channels from my antenna. I see nothing wrong with that. Poor choice to make a comparison with.


WOM - I was in no way disparaging getting tv by antenna. If that's what works, no problem. I was suggesting that if someone pays for cable or satelite, then they are paying for something "virtual".

You can get CursorXP for $10.00. That'll get rid of your dl cap.

I would buy the full version of those programs, but I'm saving for computer parts and I don't have a job yet.

I'm curious- I already have ObjectDesktop, ObjectDock Plus & CursorXP Plus. Will I be hitting a limit if I don't subscribe on top of these purchases?

Let me add that I love this place- We get so many pre-tested, malware-safe skins with a broad range of taste and expertise, ranging from professional skins to submissions created with MS Paint-- very democratic & enlightening. Also minimal flaming, especially in skin evaluations. All these things are part of the investment

With any of the purchases you mention there will be no download limit. So get clicking that download button!

Some people here are willing to make one for you if you would like. I need to wait until I get home (goofing off at work now), but if you have any ideas on what you want, I or another can whip one up for you.

Actually, it's a shareware version. The idea is that you can try it out and see if you like it before you buy it. You miss out on some of the best features of WindowBlinds skins with the shareware version. It's well worth the $20, although the whole Object Desktop suite for $50 is an even better deal.


Last time I used the shareware version it did everything that the pro version did...

It didn't skin toolbar icons or progress animations. I'm pretty sure there are a few other things as well.

Another good reason why they should have used a PHP or Invision board setup in the new WC.

Timoka: I'm on a restricted budget but still subscribe to WC and purchased Object Desktop because that's what I wanted. Either way, I get products and services...virtual or otherwise.. that are fully updated regularly and a pleasure to use. On top of that, I have purchased CursorXP Plus and several premium items to help support a community that offers so much for so little in return. It's not that big of a sacrifice if you forego...say a VIRTUAL game or so.

I first began customizing my desktop with StyleXP but found a lacking until discovering Windowblinds and other Stardock products. The shareware version was great to try, but the full version os OD offers greater flexibility and options, so if you like and want the skins, the relatively small investment is more than worth it. I've yet to see anyone who truly regrets their purchase, so why not give it a go? The after-sales service and support from Stardock and WC is great....well worth the admission price in itself.

I'm a rather new subscriber to both OD and WC, and I won't hesitate to recommend both for anyone
who would like something else than the usual XP themes (and a msstyle here and there)..

SkinBrowser isn't too bad either..

But, no advertising, nothing extra unneeded things, just skins,discussons,chat etc.. WC is absolutely worth the $19.95..
