The second part of the Winstep skinning tutorial by Tim Dagger (Essorant) is now available at the Winstep site (http://www.winstep.net). Learn how easy it is to make WorkShelf themes with this easy, step-by-step, WorkShelf skinning Tutorial, which nicely complements the NextSTART tutorial released lask week.

NextSTART is a powerful, skinnable, and dynamic pop-up menu system that can be used as a replacement or supplement to the Windows Start Menu, Taskbar and Systray. WorkShelf is a powerful, multi-paged desktop replacement and program launcher that can be used as an alternative or supplement to the normal Windows desktop.

Both programs are intuitive, integrate seamlessly with each other, have an easy to use GUI Preferences screen and can completely change the way your desktop looks without forcing you to change shells or learn complicated text-like commands.
