From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands

As part of our ongoing effort to give subscribers more bang for their buck, we added professional skins to the subscription package earlier this year.  To start things off we released Stardust, a new skin by Adni18.  Today we're ready to release another skin, and give you a hint of what's next in the pipeline.

Our second Subscriber-Only skin is Rockstar by community veteran Hippy!

Rockstar turns your desktop into concert stage with the look and feel of classic guitars, speakers and amps.  Rockstar comes with 6 great substyles, letting you pick exactly the kind of amp you want.  It's the perfect skin for music enthusiasts, especially the rockers out there.

If you're already a subscriber, you can get the skin HERE.

If you're not a subscriber, then you had better sign up RIGHT NOW!

Our next Subscriber skin is going to be Boulder from MikeB!  A great skin that will give your desktop a clean, chiseled look.  Expect some teaser previews of the skin soon!

Stay tuned for news on MyColors and the full Rockstar Suite later today!

G4E: They're free.  If you choose to buy the full suite, you get a $5 discount.  You're not getting a short end of any stick just because we offer a larger paid version of something we provide for free.

Note to Hippy:

I'm not a skinner, but I am a musician and I do know a little about quality! RockStar is so kewl it's just insane! I mean a Marshall amp start menu, a guitar pick for a start button and control knobs for sizing? It's a music lovers dream and you can't help but to fall in love with the dynamically unique details, 'cause there ain't nobody outside of WC rockin' like this! This piece of artistry is an honor and privilege to own!

Thanks Hippy!

Check your WB settings.

Three problems. When using the taskbar, at the top, the taskbar buttons are to low.
The StartMenu "log off & turnoff computer" mouseovers are off.
Also, there is a "15" second delay, when waiting for the My Computer or Control Panel menu's to pop out, on the Start Menu.

My Vista system has always been slow that way with or without WB running.It got better with SP1 but still kind of lags. I am not so sure that is a WB thing. In my case.

Nice looking skin, now I just need to hear back from support on whether my problem was fixed by the developers in WB or soon to be fixed..

Great skin. The substyle names are clever.    Would of expected an animated please wait screen but that's not a negative. It just screams for it.
