There are simply too many master skins and too few other skins.  Front skin page.... 2/3 are master?

And for some reason, the windowblind skinners are the majority of the master skinners on wincustomize.  Just look at all the other stardock products that have a lot of skins that are.... free?  Maybe Windowblinds should be free, and stardock could make their money from the subsidizing/distribution of the skins themselves.  I dunno, but I am getting leary of continuing my su...

Autumn officially started yesterday, so if you keep up with the seasons then now might be a good time to adjust your desktop theme to one that matches the season.  We have a nice collection of Autumn-inspired skins and themes on WinCustomize.

See more here and here.  If you have some related skins, please post them in the comments so I can feature them in another post soon.

Here are a few of my favorites.

We use Fences on several computers here at work. We also work out of SharePoint a lot. I would love to see a feature where we could create folder portals from SharePoint document repositories. Don't know if that's in the roadmap already or if there's even any real demand for it. Would make a great "enterprise" feature.

When I start windows 8 and go to my desktop, I only see the taskbar and the background picture.

After a right click with the mouse, the fences appear.

How to configure fences to show fences right away?

Folders area background in Skinstudio.

This has been requested many times & an update for this is long overdue.

The work by Stardock custumization team is awesome, but this has been overlooked for too long.

Neil Banfield mentioned Folders area background is a tricky part, but surely there's a solution by now.

I am a proud owner of Fences.

But on Windows 8 every several days I get pop-up message from Fences that I have to enter product key,

purchase product key or to start 30 day trail.

So every time I have to log-in to Stardock to copy/paste product key and succesfully activate Fences.

Fences is wonderful, but how do I solve this registration problem?

I have Modernmix, Start8, and Windowblinds on a Windows 8.1 PC. I have the Windows taskbar set to never condense windows, so they all show as separate tiles on the taskbar. I want to be able to shuffle them around so I can re-order them if they become mixed up - but when I try to drag one anywhere, it moves all the tiles of that same program around on the taskbar instead of that single tile. Is there any way I can change it so I can shuffle around individual tiles?

Thanks for your help.

The peace was too good to last and yesterday I was told to get out of the house.  The woman I used to call mother has become so mean spirited that I cannot stand being anywhere near her anymore.  All I asked was that she stopped talking down to me like a child all the time, to stop being condescending, to stop dropping snide remarks and not to treat me with contempt whenever it suits her.  Well that was it and then it was on for young and old.... with me being kicked out when I ha...

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?

Quoting from the product description on your product page:  "Sort icons in fences by date, type, size, name, ti...

It's been a while since we had a contest, and I thought it would be fun to put a quick one together for Halloween.  Halloween has always brought up some fun and unique skins, and people always seem to ask for new ones each year.  

See Halloween skins on WinCustomize.

This is just a quick, fun contest that is open to anyone and can be any skin, theme, wallpaper, etc. that is accepted on WinCustomize.  The only real requirement is it needs to have a Halloween theme to it. ...

Neowin just published on this. This one’s worse than “Heartbleed”. Even if you aren’t running the above OSs, hackers can take control of any device running on operating systems that make use of Bash for command line operations. Also, some networking equipment such as routers and switches running on Linux variants also make use of Bash.

I felt really good when I read gHacks about this topic, since it’s something I’ve been doing for years.

There are two basic situations: The first: You’ve decided that for the type of purchase you’re making, it’s better to have a direct connection to the brick and mortar merchant, and the second: You’ve decided that the discount or local availability dictate you shop online.

For the second, this article doesn’t apply. For the first, there are several ways to pay for things. ...

Hello All! I just recently downloaded the trial version of fences to give it a try and I really like the concept and implementation and would like to keep it permanently, but there's a bug that's driving me up the wall. If I can't get it fixed, I'm going to pass on paying for this program.

The problem is this: When my computer reboots, all of the icons in my fences resets to medium sized icons, although I have them set to the smaller "classic" sized icons. Also, all of my fenc...

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 talk about movies and TV, so why not have a discussion about the books we read!  Let us know what's the last book you read, and feel free to recommend it or expand on what it's about.

I mostly read through my Kindle and get most of my eBooks through Amazon.

The book I recently finished was Inside the Real Area 51: The Secret History of Wright Patterson.
