Published on October 5, 2007 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

Fresh from the grave, Stardock delivers Halloween straight to your desktop. Our macabre desktop is packed full of ghoulish icons, unearthly visual styles, wicked gadgets and a haunted wallpaper sure to send shivers through your bones. This desktop screams Halloween and is our treat to you with the purchase of any Premium Suite. This ghastly deal ends on October 31.

If you're a WinCustomize Subscriber, you get this update completely free!  Just head on over to the Subscriber Resources section to download the suite.

So you're not a WinCustomize subscriber yet and you want the new R.I.P suite?  You have two choices, you can either purchase a subscription to WinCustomize, or you can buy any of our Premium Suites before October 31st.  Your choice.

     

This suite has been updated to take advantage of WindowBlinds 6 and Windows Vista features.

What's New: 

  • Animated Start Menu in Vista & XP
  • Vista Compatability
  • Vista-ready Icons
  • New Weather Gadget
  • New Wallpaper

What's In the Suite?

  • WB6 Animated skin for Vista & XP
  • Icon Package for Vista & XP
  • Wallpaper in 3 Resolutions
  • Clock Gadget
  • Calendar Gadget
  • Weather Gadget
 

Enjoy the super-spooky suite from Stardock Design!

Additionally, if you are a Windows Vista Ultimate user, we're releasing an Animated Wallpaper designed to go with R.I.P completely free.  You don't need to buy anything, but it sure will look good running along side the R.I.P Suite.  Grab the Dream HERE*.

*Requires Windows DreamScene and Stardock DeskScapes to be installed

IMPORTANT: You will need to upgrade to the latest version of Theme Manager from Stardock Central.  If you do not, the suite will not apply properly.  DO THIS FIRST.

Why not export the IP that came with the Theme John and use them on your Dock!


Curtis, I completely missed that. Thanks good friend.

RottGutt is correct, there is an error with the dream.  We are uploading a fixed version right now

Update: Fixed version uploaded.  Thanks for catching that.  Make sure to delete the Halloween dream from C:\ProgramData\Stardock\DeskScapes\ExtractedData before running the new one.

Yeah, was a borked upload.  We don't even have a version of it that looks like that.    The file is actually about 3 times of what showed up. I blame it on the gremlins.

The .dream is not part of any premium anything, btw.  It was released for free for anyone who has Vista Ultimate and wants to use it.

StardockWeather.ocx is not registered and is required for use of this application. You may have a security application (antivirus, antispyware, etc) that prevented the registering of this module during the MyColors setup. Please contact support@stardock.com for assistance.

Is what I get when I try to run the weather gadget. This is on Vista Ultimate x64.

Edit: It magically fixed itself with a reboot.

Bad gremlins! It looks much better now, thank you! I still think it would be awesome as a dynamic dream!

Love the update to the start panel and the wallpaper. I know there are others but those are the most obvious ones. I had just started using the last version and boom this comes out.
Thanks

I add my "thank you" to the chorus.

Seems like to me if you pay for OD you should be able to get the hoilday items free. Some of us are on a budget. That's all i have to say abaout that.

Well if you were here lsat year you got the same thing so its nothing NEW for the ones that were here last year. So instead of making something new they used the same one and just did some changes so it would work with wb6. Please dont get me wrong Stardock has some super great people that work for them and coming up with a skin or suite for a few holidays (new) should be no problem.

Many thanks for updating RIP 2006 to RIP 2007. Looking forward to RIP 2008!

I spare you the pain and I'l not show you the attempts I've made at creating (or just modifying) a skin that prove you so very wrong.

One of the best suites ever offered at Wincustomize! TNX... this is the quality of subscriber suites I'd expected when signing on the Wincustomize long long long ago...
