VOX, Solid State, Magnetek, and Carbon Fibre GTV are my favorites. I think they are all from 2009. It's hard to pick one out of those that is "more favorite" than the others.

Sirus from Mike

I agree!  I would have listed it but since it was an update I wasn't sure it counted as a 2009 skin.

I really love Breeze by TomRichter (even if he claims it's nothing special ) and Steampunk gets my vote too.

My top 3(a real headache to get it all lined up...) 1st: Infinity Ultimate - it somehow makes every wallpaper seem the right choice, and it's really elegant imho. 2nd: Naked / Naked Noire - a real killer when it comes to simplicity, and really a good eye-candy if you want to see your wallpaper most of the times 3rd would be VOX, which when I use I somehow get myself looking at my desktop more than it would be neccessary; that skin has a certain pleasant feel to it, similar to that of Azenis 2. My honorable mention would be Tinted; I sometimes use it as an alternate WB instead of Infinity Ultimate, since it's almost a tie in both elegance and usability.

This is making me crazy.

Every single skin mentioned here is great. It should be noted that all of you have wonderful taste. Because it agrees with mine! LOL.

Serious congrats to the artists: v, Tim, Mike Bryant, Vamps, Karen (2010 skin is gonna be Dr. gui),  stardock design... all of you have made my 'puter a wonderful place to work and play.

Thank you!

the 'V' is a dead giveaway      ..gorgeous...been using most the year...subtle & sexy... as yet unreleased...but a huge fave of mine...

also.....Krome for those darker days.....  VXP 2010 for lighter/work days....  Polaris for those smouldering charcoal and orange mood desktops....and Avanti, which is a delightful mood lightener....arty...fresh....beautiful with surf....tropical island...white desert sand walls...

'09 was a great year for some top quality blinds.....many of which have been mentioned in this thread.....I also really enjoy Tigris....by Tiggz....and Corporate...by Dani...would be cool to see more blinds from them....
