Skin Roundup for 1-4-08
Published on January 4, 2008 By Island Dog In Community
 

I can't believe this is the first "This Week in Skinning" for 2008.  Last year I featured so many skins, but unfortunately had to leave so many out just because there isn't enough space to feature them all.  I have slightly altered the design of TWiS so it will be easier to feature more skins if necessary, and if you have any suggestions, always feel free to drop me a note.

Now for this weeks picks! 

 

EarthFX for CursorXP
by J. Aroche 

Good to see J. Aroche back doing what he does best....making amazing cursors to share.

 


 

 
Knot Vista 1280 in DesktopX themes
by  BigDogBigFeet

The Knot WB skin was incredibly creative, and this DX theme compliments it well.

World Clock in DesktopX Widgets
by Tiggz

Also glad to see Tiggz bringing us more great works.  I'm looking forward to much more.

midnight_sun in Dreams

I found this .dream to be very cool looking on my desktop, and it also made it into the December .dreams video as well.

Alpha 1 for IconPackager
by mrSkope

The IconPackager section is not as busy as it used to be, but this new addition of over 100 icons will hopefully get it going again.  Vista ready with Live Folders support.

Shadows of the waves in Wallpapers
by Sparkle Design

Sometimes simple is the best way to go.  I would like to see some bigger resolutions next time though.  Nice work.

 
The image   Elegance for WindowBlinds
by Stardock Design

The first free WB skin from Stardock Design this year, and a great one it is.  Very clean and usable design, for both XP and Vista.


What a great way to start off the new year, and there is many more good things to come.  Be sure to check the skinners personal pages for more of their works.  See you next week!

Thanks for the info Island Dog, there are always one or more skins I would have missed if it weren't for your little compendiums. This time it would have been Tiggz's World-Clock.
