http://www.blizzbaby.com - Themeing central, more themes and skies for every world than you can shake a stick at.

Known Issues:
1) The recommended requirements are not fluff as in many other programs, if you don't meet them, it will barely work (if at all). These requirements are as follows:
CPU: 1+ Ghz
RAM: 256+ Mb
Video RAM: 64+ Mb
OS: Windows 2000/XP (98 and Me will probably also work, but make sure you have all the service packs installed)
2) You cannot use CompuServe and 3DNA at the same time.
3) Dynamic skies won't work on a ATI Radeon 9700, however this bug will be fixed very soon and only applies to the paid version.
