I would like to open up a discussion centered around what do you like and want to see in skins that get uploaded into the WC Gallery Libraries. Know not so much as what rules of skinning must the skinner follow to get uploaded but more of what you look for in a skin. 
I have only been here a short time, just over five years and alot of skinners have come and gone even in that short time. When going back through the libraries I see that alot of things were done in skinning that don't seem to be able to be accomplished today. This is not saying that the skinners of old were better then those of today. New OS versions made changes and WindowBlinds made changes also to keep currrent and some skinning techniques, if that is the proper way to say it, may have been lost. 
This will also be a great way to introduce some of the newer members of the community to what might be called 'Old School Skinning' and show them skins and skinners that they may not have checked out. So, no problem adding screenshots here. 
I have only two requests, keep the discusions on topic, and yes I know that at times that does become a hard task and please no flaming. Yes I know, takes all the fun out it.
