Halloween Skin Preview

For WinCustomize Subscribers!

Published on September 22, 2008 By Island Dog In WinCustomize News

Halloween has always been a popular time for skinning. There are a number of Halloween

inspired skins in the WinCustomize galleries, and seems to be skins in almost every category. With that being said, I wanted to show a quick preview of a new Halloween skin in the works from Stardock Design. This WindowBlinds skin will be free to WinCustomize subscribers, and should be released sometime in early October. There will also be a free .dream available for download as well.

Please note this is a mockup and the final skin is subject to being changed. Don’t wait until the last minute, you can subscribe now to WinCustomize and get more premium skins like this, no ads, unlimited downloads, and more. Click here for more information on subscribing.

Very nice. I liked the past Halloween versions, but this is a change of pace. Good work.

This is way too busy for my tastes guys. You're trying too hard here, cut out the chains and the eye balls and this will be way more usable. Icons look like they will be pretty nice when finished.

I think it needs quite a bit of work still. Some suggestions:

1) Get rid of the skull. It makes it too busy.

2) Make the start menu more interesting, shape it like a tomb stone a bit or at least something that's irregularly shaped.

3) Why are the taskbar buttons capsules? Doesn't go with the theme.

4) The text is hard to read. I wouldn't use this due to the color choices from a readability point of view.

5) The title bar buttons don't go with the rest of the theme. Looks like some other skin but recolored.

6) Too many gradients, don't go with any consistent style.

Just my 2 cents.

Frogboy sounds like a regular, like one of us. Has his account been hijacked?

One question above will still need to be answered. Will the IconPackager be free or " Same Script, Different Skin" as the "Golf"
