Gotta-have Skins

What're yours?

December 20, 2012 1:35:35 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

Just downloaded/installed Windowblinds for the first time since about 2007. Can't remember. A while.

 

What are some just gotta-have Windowblinds skins? Links?

 

(I'm aware, of course, I can browse the library. I figured it'd be more fun and insightful to hear about people's favorites and why they like 'em)

Ok. Here we go. First up....Metropolis http://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/7815/

A very good working skin by vStyler. Next is Burloak by Doc Wilson, a new WB skinner http://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/7811/

Adni18 is one of the best WB skinners. Been here4 like forever. His Christmas WB is definitely a must have. http://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/7808/

Another excellent working skin HAL 2030 by vStyler http://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/7804/

Lets see, what else.....Vampothika is a Master skinner with a vivid imagination http://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/7792/

and along with Neone6 they create some of the most visually stunning graphics I've seen to date http://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/7775/

Just a few but you get the idea. Check out this WB http://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/7777/

Here's some more you should look into.

http://www.wincustomize.com/users/552/i-Umami

 

 

For the extremely uncommon Check out IRB's skins...

http://www.wincustomize.com/users/664196/I.R.Brainiac

 

Speaking of Mike (I.R.Brainiac), has anyone heard from him? His profile shows he hasn't been around for over a year. I hope everything's alright.

vStyler. You can't do much better than that, well worth the ticket price.

Xiandi. Brilliant and artistic in design and execution.

I.R.B. Brilliantly different.

2of3

adni18

LightStar.

DanniloC.

Neone6 and Vampothica.

There so many more, Masters, or not, that I will just stop there.

Not because any other skinners are any less worthy of mention, but because 1/2 the fun is in the discovery.

At the risk of being accused of selfless promotion...check out my gallery http://webgizmos.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx I have links to all the skins I've created stuff for over the last 8 years..."some" of the best skins you can find here...and it's the easiest way to provide you with a huge list...so if you see something that catches your eye your just a click away from it. Some of the skins though unfortunately don't exist anymore on the site.

BTW, The OP Title should read Gotta Have Windowblinds skins.

 

Lots of other skins in the gallery other than WB skins.

 

I'm just saying. I know people who think "skin" means Windowblinds skin.

The DX gallery. Some of the most audacious skins are here.  http://www.wincustomize.com/explore/desktopx_themes

Hint...RedneckDude is very prolific. Also check out Kostiantyn's skins. There's a whole plethora from quite a few artists. Then we have Sysmetrix, my favorite at the moment. http://www.wincustomize.com/explore/sysmetrix

Check out my skins. Shameless plug...hehe

Didn't intend the hijack....the OP IS about WB skins. Just that the title doesn't reflect that.

My point is that DX, Rainlendar, Sysmetrix, Winstep, etc, etc.  are skins too.

Yeah...wasn't trying to hijack it as well...I just figured it was a lot easier..than listing everything I could think of...to find a lot of good skins through my gallery since I did and am still doing stuff for tons of great skins.
