Any of my old Skinz.org buddys still hanging around here? 

I've been gone for about a decade now. I used to make some litestep themes back in the day, mostly collaborations with other skinners like Dangeruss, Treetog, and Crumbut. I also used to moderate wallpaper submissions on Skinz.org back when it was still brown. 

I recently found my old copy of Object Desktop 2000 CD (yeah I actually bought it on CD). Of course, my old Stardock Component Manager serial number didn't work. (Anyone remember Component Manager?) So I'm thinking of getting back into skinning again and was wondering how the community has been doing.

What are the most recent trends in skinning?

Which programs are people using the most now?

Is there any chance of getting a renewal or upgrade price for Object Desktop based off my old registration code from 10 years ago ('cause I'm a broke-ass college student now)?

Will any of my old skins that I have been saving on a CD all these many many years still work with the newest version of Windowblinds; and if not is there an easy way to update them to the newer version?

If you remember me, say "Hi". I'll probably remember you too .
