PIRATE your desktop!

Have Windows walk the plank with this new suite!

May 24, 2007 12:09:49 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

Transform your entire Windows desktop experience with the new Pirate Premium Suite! This suite, when applied, will change nearly every element of your Windows GUI!

Some users have asked to be "wowed" by Stardock Design and the Pirate suite aims to deliver that WOW.

The suite includes:

  • A WindowBlinds visual style (which supports both XP and Windows Vista)
  • An icon package that not only has 117 icons but has full Windows Vista icon package support (that means 256x256 sized icons and live folder support!)
  • Multiple wallpaper backgrounds
  • A CursorXP cursor pack that will work both with the current CursorXP and with the upcoming CursorVista enhanced cursor applying program.
  • A new Logon screen 
  • A boot screen
  • ObjectDock background
  • A weather, clock calendar, media player gadget!
  • And to top it all off, a talking Pirate gadget!

This is definitely one of the best suites ever made. Check out these screenshots below:

 NOTE: Requires Theme Manager 2.5 (Object Desktop users use Stardock Central to update).

Excellent example of what WOW is, hats off to the designers and skinners for a fantastic suite.   

There'll be no walking the plank this fine day, break out the keg of rum!!!

It was a Pirate- PixelPirate!

What exactly is happening?  None of it applies, or is it the suites, or some of the "extras" that you are having issues with?  What version of Windows?

It requires an updated Theme Manager that wasn't made public... They're getting it up now.

See above.  It was built on a newer Theme Manager that didn't get released prior to this.  We got the suite done a month ahead of time and were so excited to get it out that we seemed to have forgotten to make sure that the Theme Manager that supported it was released first.....

Arrrr...I'll be walkin' the plank now!!!

66MB of incredible artistry and coding. Altogether an incomparable work. Cannot believe the hours/days/weeks/months that must have gone into this. A major production. Every single part of the GUI covered, and gadgets galore. Stunning. Taking the kids to see the latest "Pirates' film for a Summer Vacation celebration. What timing. Bravo, everyone at Stardock. Bravo.

It was our fault. We didn't release the updated Theme Manager until AFTER the suite was announced. D'oh!

I hope everyone checks out the Talking Pirate gadget, I know Seabass had a lot of fun recording those lines, and the email chain that went around the office coming up with ideas was pretty amusing

I even updated the theme manager and I still cannot get it to install. Just the wallpaper installs, icon manager errors and then windowblinds acts like it is going to install, but it doesn't:(

Pirates didn't have plastics and metals back in the day; should have gone with more wood in the skin. I'm disappointed.

Does it even partially change your Windows look?  i.e. does it change application titlebars and the start menu to a yellow set of colors?

no - just the wallpaper installs. windowblinds states the "please wait" like it is loading, but then just stays on the same skin. Iconpackager states that it cannot load the package.
