With windows 8, MS removed the ability to change your titlebar text color. Enabling this isn't directly related to the start menu, but it fits with the programs goal of getting rid of windows 8 headaches. The common work around now is basically to hack in old windows 7 .theme files with changed title bar text colors. If you could give users a fix for this it'd be another nice feature that could draw people to the product. - Dan Com

Hello all, For those who don't know me, I was active a while back and quit after law school started and my free-time disappeared. I've recovered the PSD and WBA for the last skin I was working on. I'd like to see it released, but don't have the time, or familiarity with the 'new' skinstudio to see it completed. A preview is attached. If anyone is interested in finishing it up and releasing it, send me a PM. <img src="http://img6.imagebanana.com/
Just wanted to pop in and post an update for those that might remember me as I've been inactive for the last half-year. I'm finishing up my last month of law school before I sit for the bar exam in July (hopefully), I currently have -zero- free time, however I still have a skin which I was working on last year that I would like to finish and revamp a bit and release sometime in the future with all the new Vista goodies as well as a couple skins (Buuf OS and Paippr) that I would like t
+1 For me... I always manually move everything into a Stardock folder... but updates mean I have to re-do it. Everything installing into Stardock folder
So pretty, I want that SKS! To StarDock, as a whole and to all the developers... this looks to be exciting. Thanks for the hard work, can wait to play around with it.
Thanks everyone.
Congratulations on the contract guys... I'm not sure how practical it is to have high def video for a background, but I'm sure I'll try it out.
nvm... I'll censor myself.
These are ALL nice.
It violates the rules against incorporating other artist's work in your skin.
Z, Thank you, very much. ... I agree with your "agreement"
Little bit of extra awesomesauce on that one, w00t! Congratz all winners.
Well 4 days might be a bit of an overstatement... I had mock-up what I wanted the window to look like in the summer. But I didn't touch it beyond that, make any other elements, or start any coding of the skin beyond that until I had uploaded BuuF OS.
Z, I had literally a window of like 2 weekends in which to put a skin together. I figure that the GUI Champs usually occur during the summer when there's less pressure. The other themers now have jobs, and this is almost a side project. The lack of "WOW" skins as you put it ... is due IMO to time constraints.
I'm a little suprised by some of these choices but ... Go Dani, and Mike!
@ Zubaz... MY EYES! The goggles do nothing!
-_- How did they put anyone "out of business"? Because some authors chose not to participate doesn't mean that they were scared off by new talent... their motives are wholly their own and they may have outside obligations or concerns.
I pretty much hate the toolbar layout and the fact that I can't re-position them...
That last one is a real hum-dinger.
Let MikeB and the other Stardock employees skin, the Gabenator welcomes the challenege. I laugh in the face of these girly man skinners. I will see my challengers broken and scattered before me. I will drop an atomic bevel from the third turnbuckle on all who dare to stand before me. Don't fear my skins, fear the consequences. Gabe 3:16 says I just skinned your desktop.
excellent.
Looking forward to seeing the premium suites.
I'd love to see a DX/Standalone widget category. And of course WB.
