Stardock

Summary
Stardock Corporation is a software development company founded in 1991 and incorporated in 1993 as Stardock Systems, later known as Stardock.net. Stardock initially developed for the OS/2 platform, but was forced to switch to Windows due to the collapse of the OS/2 software market between 1997 and 1998. Most of their computer programs allow a user to modify or extend a graphical user interface, although they also develop and publish computer games, particularly turn-based strategy games.
Stardock created and maintains WinCustomize, a GUI customization community. Many of the skins and themes featured on its site are for software that is part of Object Desktop, their main subscription service. Stardock also runs TotalGaming.net, an online content delivery system for downloadable personal computer games, and ThinkDesk, a productivity application service. They are based in Plymouth, Michigan.
Future Products
With the release of Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor, Stardock's next projects are a massively-multiplayer real-time strategy game called Society, an as-yet unnamed 4X fantasy strategy game, an expansion pack for Sins of a Solar Empire is under development, and a successor to Stardock Central, Impulse is being developed.
