Skinners to Note: PuterDudeJim

DX skinning is alive and well!

May 30, 2008 9:44:15 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

DesktopX is one of those applications that just doesn't get enough attention.  When people talk about gadgets these days it's all about Apple or the Vista Sidebar.  Everyone forgets that DesktopX came way before the others.  And when it does get mentioned, people forget that it does oh so much more than just desktop gadgets.  You can use it to completely redesign your Windows user interface.

One skinner in the community hasn't forgotten this: PuterDudeJim.  He keeps turning out new DX themes and widgets, often to match existing, popular WindowBlinds skins.  The other great thing is that he puts new ones out with decent regularity.  Here are just a few of his most recent submissions:

Way to go PuterDudeJim! A lot more people should try DX,your (and others) themes are easy to use,enhance the look and functionality of WB's,yet get little attention.RI too,so they fit anything.You're a regular one-man DX revival  Now I can't decide on a favorite,guess I'll have to use them all.  Thanks for letting me test some of these,I can finally contribute,if only in a small way.If I can learn to use these,anybody can.
