You won't regret it. You can deck out your desktop, and also make your own skins with SkinStudio and IconDeveloper and DesktopX.

Okay ive made up my mind on what I want :

Next Year, I am going to buy Cursor XP Plus and the Aquarium Desktop.

I checked out all of stardocks products that they offer and found that the only things that interest me are :

WB 5 Which I already have
Cursor XP
Aquarium Desktop.

A Wincustomize Sub is also going to be bought to kill all the ads on the site. One question though , do i have to purchase all items in seperate transactions or do your shopping carts handle multiple item purchases in one transaction?

Jason Why limit yourself to just these? Your options would be severely limited when your interests/horizons broaden to such things as icons, docks, boots, logons, etc. Yeah, I know, that won't happen...cos I said the exact same thing.

I started out just wanting to change my walls..then came different icons, cursors, boots and logons, etc....and all individually done, I might add. Then I discovered Desktop Architect to apply most with one click, except that the boots, logons and shutdowns wouldn't work on XP.

From there I eventually progressed to the full version of ObjectDesktop and haven't looked back. Now I can customise everything at will, whenever I want....no restrictions or elements missing. I just saw no sense in changing the GUI but retaining the default XP icons, etc. It's so much nicer to be able to mix 'n match everything...and that's what OD allows you to do. Besides, buying the individual components costs more overall...so do yerself a favour an' git it

Commission?????

I tried the other software such as Desktop X, and Objectdock and they really didnt interest me much.

Likewise, I had little or no interest in ObjectDock and various ObjectDesktop compoments, but because they were there, I soon found things to do with them when little else was going on. I suppose it's like not having an interest in the 6 oclock news because you've no TV....but if you had a TV, you might be inclined to watch it.

It's entirely up to you, of course, but if it were me, I'd be looking outside the square to include the additional potential of the full suite of proggies for a coupla bucks more.
