     Thanks for your interest in our site. We really love freeware (especially great little programs like Launchy) and just wanted to try and give a little back to the community. We hope you find this site useful and pleasant to use. If you haven't installed Launchy yet, we encourage you to do so and then come back here to get some new skins for it. We're confident that you'll enjoy using Launchy as much as we do. If you'd like to contribute to the Launchy community yourself, we'd invite you to make your own skins and submit them here for others to use. If you really love Launchy, you might even give Josh a small donation at his site so he can continue making Launchy better and better.

About This Site

      This is our very first web site and it has a few bugs. Even though we have spent countless hours over the last few months learning to code and trying to improve our site's design, we know that there are a few things we could improve. We hope that you'll be patient as we work things out. A few of the problems that we are aware of at this time include:

  • Expected Complaint: "You messed up my name or gave credit to the wrong person in the gallery." We did the best we could to figure out who made what skins. Sometimes this information was not included with the skin itself or it was not obvious from the forum - so we guessed. If we got your name or website wrong or they're missing entirely, let us know and we'll try and fix it.

  • Expected Complaint: "My skin is (or isn't) on your site." When we first designed this site, we tried to collect as many of the available skins as possible. However, most of these skins were scattered all over the internet. Many of the links to skins were broken. (That's one reason we decided to make this site in the first place.) Therefore, we know there are a few more skins out there that we were not able to find. We are also running a month or two behind the forums, but we hope to catch up soon. If you have a skin you'd like to share, please send it to us. If your skin is already on our site and you don't want it there, let us know and we'll take it down.

  • Our RSS feed is broken or is not recognized by the browser. We know its supposed to be "Really Simple". We're trying. We know we'll get it right eventually.

  • The links to our gallery pages change every time we update the site. This often breaks bookmarks to pages for individual skins. This is limitation of the software we are using to create our gallery. Unfortunately, it is the only freeware program that we could find that would do anything close to what we wanted. We are looking for alternative programs and would eventually like to move to something more advanced like PHP. Until then, we apologize for the inconvience.

  • Our site is not official. We got permission from Launchy's creator to make this site, but we are not in any way associated with Josh Karlin or the official Launchy website. We have also been informed that other similar (possibly official) sites may eventually be set up to share Launchy skins and plugins. We are happy to hear this. We welcome anything that improves the Launchy community experience. Until that time we plan on continuing to provide a "central repository" for freely displaying and sharing Launchy skins.

  • Finally, the colors on our site are atrocious. Yes, we know. That's why we don't actually design any of the skins ourselves. We're also not allowed to pick out our own clothes. Go figure.

    Please be patient with us as we try to improve this site. We welcome any comments or suggestions you may have on making this site better. Thanks again for visiting LaunchySkins.com
