Ah, it's that time of year again.  Time for snowmen, snowball fights, hot chocolate by a roaring fire, Christmas decorations, sleigh rides and more.  Yes, it's Winter at last.

To get the season off to a good start, Stardock Design has put together the Winter Wonderland Suite.

Take a stroll through a snow covered lane and see candy canes, snowmen, and twinkling lights. Winter Wonderland brings back memories of the Holidays of the past, and makes you dream of white holidays. This heart warming suite features a heavily animated whimsical start menu, holiday inspired icons, snowy gadgets and wallpapers to warm your heart.

Winter Wonderland comes with:

  • A WindowBlinds 6 Skin with an animated start menu
  • 2 wallpapers
  • Holiday icons (includes Vista icons)
  • Holiday desktop gadgets (clock & weather)

But how can you get this suite I'm sure you're asking yourself right now?  Between now and January 3rd, 2008, you will get Winter Wonderland FREE with the purchase of any Premium Suite

To clarify, this is for Stardock Premium Suites ONLY.  This does not apply to purchasing WinCustomize Master Skins.

So only got iconpackager for 30 days but thats long enough to do christmas.
For $4.95 with todays exchange rate think it was worth it.

Cool suite. Thanks too!!

Did the discount for subscribers not apply to this purchase? Normally it applies when you check out but this charged me full price.


CarGuy1 I thought the same thing, when I checked at check out the discount applies against Master Skins.

That would explain it. Oh well.



HEY, STARDOCK DESIGNS...How about a Winter Wonderland Dream to go along with this.

I have to admit I agree with CarGuy..


I think a falling snow dream that fits the snow wallpaper in this suite would be a great addition to this great Suite

I Just got it and love it

Thanks for all the work Stardock!

I tried those and while they are nice, they are not the same as a dream. Muckyman's first "Winters Here" snow looks much more realistic.
Knowing how Stardock dreams are always top notch, I am hoping they will release something with a nice Christmas theme to it.

I was actually looking at updating the images of teh flakes in GR's DX object. . . I just wish I had soem skill

Hum.. thanks for the links Snidely.. Interesting gadgets I like..


I am still hoping that a great snow dream would be made to fit the new Suite though. I will accept whatever may come though


Blessings

Man! how many folks buy every Premium suite that Stardock Designs puts out?


I have bought almost all master skins & premium suites offerd here and elsewhere and have a subscription that runs out in 2010. Why this suite can't be put up for sale as a standalone premium suite for those who desperately want it beats me. With the latest sponsor talk and all, it seems to me you need the dough.  Personally, I think Mormegil's old suite and adni18's Christmas stuff are far better than this suite.

Jafo is right....Christmas does come each year....so you can use the suite year after year...however...there will probably be a new suite to purchase next year...ad.infitum. So where to now? The store of course ... of course.    
on Dec 05, 2007
Are the sales of the premium skins not going well?
Swizz! I would of bought this suite immediately, but I'm not going to buy some other suite that I don't like just for the sake of it.
Sure wait till next year, which by then Windowblinds will have moved on even further (i would hope) which would render this skin outdated.
Not a good move guys. Holiday spirit? Mm. You'll never pay for the office party this way.

more than the $4.95 of the cheapest premium on sale or less than $4.95
