I am a new member and purchased Object Desktop Ultimate but so far I haven't been able to download anything. Also, I tried to buy one of gef's Desktopx themes and it won't let me. I'm also still getting ads and I thought that by buying ODU would improve my status on this site too.
An Object Desktop subscription and a Wincustomize subscription are two separate things.
With an Object Desktop subscription you get all of the software included in your suite and you get...
A 1-year subscription to Object Desktop.net, You not only get all of the features Object Desktop has today, but all of the features for a full year. This means all updates and new programs added to it you automatically get during that year. And what you download is yours forever. At the end of the year, you can continue your subscription or stick with what you already have.
You also get free unlimited downloads at Wincustomize for the period of your Object Desktop subscription, excluding Master Skins. Master skins are skins created by the Masters of the community that have earned the right to sell their work.
With a WinCustomize subscription you get...
- 12 Free Skins Per Year
Free skins designed by Stardock Design, The Desktop Experience Company.
- Ad-Free Browsing
Those annoying ad banners go away, freeing up screen space for skins.
- No More Download Limits
Never hit a download cap again. Download skins day and night and never worry about limits.
- Improved Site Functionality
More skins per page, faster page loading, better experience.
- Subscriber Discounts
Get discounts on premium skins from Master Skinners.
WinCustomize subscriptions also help pay for the servers, bandwidth and staff needed to keep the site running.
To be honest, I couldn't go back to being a non subscriber. Once you get used to the ad free 100 skins per page gallery's, it's impossible to surf the site any other way.
