When I was 20 I had nothing. I was working multiple jobs to pay for college and started Stardock as a way to pay for school.  20 years later, it’s now worth 9 figures.  How did this happen?

The number 1 rule for success I’ve found is to build partnerships. This can mean your employees and it can mean external companies, contractors, etc. that you team up with. 

What does “building” partnerships mean? To me, it means, working towards their success.  This...

Stardock has several apps under $5 that are designed to make Windows 8/Windows 8.1 easier to use and to restore lost features such as the Start menu.  Below is a quick overview of each app and what it can do to enhance your Windows 8 experience.
 

Start8®
The start menu in Windows 8 was removed, and in the 8.1 update, Microsoft brought the start button back. Unfortunately, their start button DOES NOT bring the Start Menu with it, it launches the Windows 8 Menu. Start8 returns ...

I've decided to run Fences as an alternative to OD+.  However, even though I have unchecked "Load at Startup", it continues to do so.  The only solution was an uninstall.  After reinstalling (I don't want to permanently remove OD+) however, the problem returned.

 

Here are my setting and the msconfig screens:

What's the last movie you saw?  Doesn't matter if it was at home or at a theater.

Last one I saw was Captain Philips.  I thought it a pretty good movie, especially since it was based on real events.

We’re a bit into the month of July already, but I wanted to put up the usual reminder that the monthly desktop screenshot thread is up.  This is where members post screenshots of their desktop showing off the skins and themes they are using.

Take a screenshot of your desktop, and let us know what skins you are using to customize it.

We are back from a long holiday break, and while there’s a bunch of stuff to catch up on, lets start with featuring some skins that have come into WinCustomize over the past week.

It seems to me that

 

Whenever I give Karma, it shows up immediately. (Karma reason and Karma number are updated immediately)

vs

Whenever I receive Karma, it shows up half a day later. (Karma reason is updated immediately, but Karma number is updated hours later)

 

What's up with this? Is it related to new users giving Karma? Differential between Karma given and received? Log In/Out? My imagination? Something else?

I’ve had some questions come in from Facebook and the WinCustomize forums about some of the additional features of WindowBlinds regarding textures and backgrounds, so I wanted to write a post going into more detail about it.  These are all features that aren’t really difficult to use, but if you are a new user you just might not be familiar with where everything is and how they work.

If you are completely new to WindowBlinds 8, let me recommend you also take a read through th...

Since quite a few of us here have Windows Phones, including myself, I thought we could keep an ongoing thread where we can talk about new and useful apps for the platform.

If you have a Windows Phone, you can grab apps from the Store app itself, or through your browser at the Windows Phone Marketplace.

I'll be talking about my favorite apps, and please feel free to join in.

Does anybody else here have a asus or Rog pc setup. I have looked and noone has any Deskscapes like that, and if anyone that owns any asus or Rog hardware knows its something you are proud of and want to show off, and i would love a ROG Deskscape.

What is the best way to proceed with WB/Skin Studio?  I just want a very minimal change to Win 7.  I have purchased Windows Blinds and Skin Studio, but am intimidated by all of the options.  The closest thing I want is the Echo theme, but it has too much.  Especially the font changes (too small and skinny).

All I really want is a more solid Win 7 taskbar and no screen borders.  Maybe replace the Windows Start orb.

I want to keep screen fonts, keep windows controls ...

This latest Master WindowBlinds skin called Dansel came in over the holiday break, but it’s definitely not too late to check out this latest release by LightStar.  As always, a great design with fantastic use of color.  Made for Windows 7/8.  WinCustomize Subscribers don’t forget your 20% discount on Master Skins!

Just upgraded to fences pro in order to have the ability to arrange icons within a fence.     It appeared on your fences page that this was one of the benefits of the getting the upgraded version.

However, it looks like there is no way to do this, and I am forced to use one of the default windows sort options inside the fence.   Is this correct?
