Skin Roundup - November 16th, 2005

Looking back at the skins of the past week or two I wanted to feature a few that really caught my eye in the Wincustomize galleries.

Over in the DesktopX Object gallery I spotted some objects by MountainDragon from his Dark Glass DX Theme. If you are anything like me you probably want to constantly see what state your computer is in. Whether it's how much memory you are using, or how much disk space you have used, the Dark Glass Meters will help you see your status. I tried this out with several of the new "transparent" WB themes and made a great addition to the desktop. He has several other "Dark Glass" objects so check out his gallery for more.

Moving over to the DesktopX Widget gallery I found that Richard Mohler has made some Widgets in the "ClearCut" series. They are all beautiful widgets but the one that really caught my eye was the media
player with a unique transparent style that he has "clearly" mastered. Richard also has several related widgets
in his Wincustomize gallery.

With the coming Winter season RomanDA has turned a simple clock into a great Snow Flake clock. With the current Winter themes, and the coming one's ahead, I know this will make a great addition to any Winter desktop.

Lihu1266 has made a beautiful Iconpackager set with a very nice "glow" to them. I tried this set with several different styles of Windowblinds themes and it accompanied them very well. Iconpackager doesn't a whole lot of submissions like other galleries, but it's nice when a great set like this is posted.

When I was rearranging ObjectDock I was looking for another icon for Windowblinds. A quick look at the ObjectDock gallery and a new icon by D. Arnaez was just what I was looking for. Windowblinds 2808 is another icon with a style that is all his own. For more icons with this "style" go check out D. Arnaez's gallery.

That is the skin roundup for this week. Be sure to keep a lookout for more articles about featured skins by myself, or one of the other moderators here at Wincustomize.
