Stardock has released the WinCustomize Skin Browser (WSB) to the general public. WSB is a program that talks directly to the WinCustomize.com library database to allow users to instantly access the thousands of icons, themes, skins, wallpapers, and more on their computers.
Not only does it make it easy to access all that content, it can directly apply it to your system. So a user who finds a good Windows Media Player skin can simply press the "Apply" button and WSB will download and apply the skin to Windows Media Player. Same for Winamp, WindowBlinds, Wallpapers, icons and more. If a user needs a particular third party program to use to apply a particular type fo file (such as CursorXP for cursors), WSB will prompt the user and offer to install the program automatically for them.
The program also has an Outlook Express style interface for participating on the message forums, a one click access chat room, integrated web browser, and advanced search capabilities. Best of all, the whole thing is only a little bit over a megabyte in size.
The freeware version of WSB allows users to access the most recently submitted skins, themes, icons, wallpapers, etc. along with a listing a pre-selected list of content in each library.
An enhanced version of WSB is available to users who subscribe to WinCustomize.com which costs $20 for two years (around 80 cents per month). Subscribers get access to reserved high speed bandwidth, no ads, premium subscriber suites, and 1000 free impressions on the upcoming text ad network.
