Like Z71 I TOTALLY missed this event...do you have to uninstall WindowBlinds in order to use these skins by purchasing PA?? All the skins submitted look awesome! Thx!

As with any skinned app Windowblinds will should usually not skin it, if it attempts to, you can exclude it. Though I haven't found any issue with other apps that skin themselves and WB.

I was wondering if there was going to be a conflict since, as I understand it, you have to purchase PA to make these work...GhoS - just asking or anyone here...have you used PowerArchiver?? I hate to ask concerning other apps other than those at SD/WinCus - I'm using IZArc & like it alot, but I'm always looking for better compression utilities. Are the log/off screens skinned??

It's just the app itself that's skinned. It doesn't affect the rest of the system, and WB doesn't affect PA either. You can try the 30 day trial of PowerArchiver to see how it works. Personally, I find it to be one of the best compression utilities I've ever tried.
