Does anyone want something made in DesktopX or xWidgets? The table below lists requests which have been made in this thread and the skinners/creators who have expressed an interest in taking them on. It does not indicate they are actually going to complete/finish any request, just that they might be doing so or be giving them a try.

Any suggestions from peeps on a desktop widget engine? Windows 8 compatible. I would love something that can render with more speed/flexibility than DesktopX used to be able to. e.g. LittleBoy once released a canvas plugin for DesktopX that let me draw to a HTML5 Canvas direct to the desktop rather than in a browser window. I'd use that...if DesktopX was still supported and had a chance to get other bugs fixed. Because I'd like to play with animations and a bit of 3D if the e...

See link - Big IT names should be in Australia having a "chat" about why they enjoy taking Australian money so much. Apparently we can't work it out for ourselves. I'm pretty sure the answer is "Just because. Because we *can* and we *want to*" Free enterprise or capitalism (or whatever it is) shouldn't give 'them' the right to arbitrarily rip entire nations off. It's probably the opposite of the actual definitions. At the moment I've only heard "it's min...

Just wondering if the auto-colour matching and highlight on mouse over of taskbar buttons has been there since windows 7? If the icon is mostly yellow, the highlight is yellow too, and likewise for all other colours. Just a nice touch which I only just noticed!

So there was a bit of discussion recently about advertising on Wincustomize. Basically RAH RAH GRR! and then sensible explanations. But the question in my head was, for 'revenue raising' advertising (where you are advertising 3rd party ads for small income) - does it really help a forum owner? Does it just equate to $1-$2 dollars a day? Every little bit counts I guess, but 36 members donating $10 would cover that and then all users would be 'ad-free'. On Wincustomize if I s...

Just sharing this program I've found. http://winaero.com/download.php?view.22 Unlocks some neat animations for windows explorer icon views. The icons can 'expand their positions' from top to bottom or left to right and a couple other variations. I found it via this webpage which also has a video showing some of the animations. http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2012/05/aniexplorer-adds-customisable-animations-to-windows-explorer  

Has Stardock ever considered making customization software for Apple's platforms? DesktopX for example would be great if I could put gadgets into Apple's world
