Skin Round for 10-19-07
Published on October 19, 2007 By Island Dog In Community

Where does the time go these days?  It seems like I just put up an edition of This Week in Skinning, and hear it is time for another one.  This week the Halloween Skin Guide for 2007 went up, and has been well received throughout the community. 

Whether you have a Halloween desktop or some other theme, be sure to post a screenshot in our monthly post your desktop thread.  This was another great week for skinning, especially in the CursorXP galleries.  I think I could have devoted an entire article just for the fabulous cursor submissions from the past week. 

Now for this weeks picks!

Desktop WarBird for CursorXP
By
Drill'n Boss

Another great set from Drill"n Boss, and this one has some fantastic animations.  Great work.

 

Harmony for CursorXP
By
J. Aroche

This cursor set is made to match the Harmony WindowBlinds skin from vStyler.  As usual, J. Aroche goes above and beyond with this theme.

 

ZoomCam in DesktopX Widgets

You might have seen the test camera feed Zoomba is working on, well you can bring his desk to your desktop with this widget created by Zubaz.  A Vista sidebar gadget is also available.

 

Floating Forest for IconPackager

This was another entry in the 2006 GUI Champs.  It's a very clean, and well designed cursor set that goes with a wide variety of skins.

Wow.  There is no way I am worthy to be in a list with these skinners.  This gadget must be the Pet Rock of "This Week in Skinning".

Thanks for the feature and congratulations to the real artists that bust their ass to put out the amazing work they do.

A great week for submissions.

Sadly , I am addicted to watching Zoombas desk ...

And Kudos to all and a big congrats to jazzymjr that had no intention of making that blind to match buzzh58's walls and the accessories as she was away at the time and had to hustle to get it done in time. Good job my friend.

Thanks, Karen. If you guys would stop making such beautiful stuff.....uh, well, don't stop! I feel very honored to make the blinds for your and buzz's stuff...you are both awesome artists.

you are both awesome artists.


Im hardly an artist MJ...you forget you design all your own blinds and draw the start menus. Buzzh58 also designs all his own skins.... I just tag along most of the time. Although I do have a creative thought occasionally - Ok...gear up, buzz has already moved on to Winter.
