Actually, I would rather like to see a trial. The Aquarium Desktop certainly looks pretty, but I don't know how *useful* it will be. As in, will it be worth paying money for? I know a lot of hard work went into it at Stardock, but it's still easier to try before you buy. Other Stardock products subscribe to this theory, which is what sold Object Desktop in the first place. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/

I have to agree with Kona. It's easier in Paint Shop Pro, as is most things. Long live PSP! Photoshop is HARD. You can do most basic things that an amateur skinner would need in PSP anyway.

Kong? Better stay out of your way... The Object Desktop subscriptions gets you the enhanced versions of WindowBlinds, DesktopX, IconPackager, WindowFX, and quite a lot more. LogonStudio is free, get it at http://www.logonstudio.net ObjectDock is also free, at http://www.objectdock.com Also, a free version of CursorXP is available at http://www.cursorxp.com <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/

Personally, I'd go for the fast and nimble skin-type this time around. The other MetalX skins certainly had one heck of a feature set, but it did get a little big. Time to pull out those GANT icons... Do you have an expected release date? Looks interesting, but I liked the 'Old' version better. Less metal, but slightly better visibility factor. Not too many shiny bevels, please. It hurts the eyes. <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?Cmd=full&NewsID

Are you referring to the fact that ObjectDock hides the taskbar? DesktopX allows a virtual tray as an object. If the tray is of such high importance, just search "tray" in the Objects section. Or, DesktopX allows the creation of a Start menu launcher object. This could be an alternative way to launch Stardock programs. Last, why not just right-click the desktop? The Display Properties dialig is integrated with WinStyles aka Theme Manager and WindowBlinds. <B

Heh heh...The only two reasons I got a subscription was that I wanted to support the site and I wanted the premium themes. Proxomitron always took care of the ads for me...
