New (Potential) series: Ask a Master
Wednesday, October 3, 2007 by ZubaZ | Discussion: OS Customization
The Master skinners at Wincustomize are a special breed of people. They done the time here. They skin, they mentor, they skin some more. 
So I'm going to try to suck them dry of anything and everything they know. I want you, the community to send me your questions. I'll collect them, pick out a couple, and try to collect answers to post here.
No question is too big or small; too general or specific. It can target one master (but I'll probably open it up too many if I can) or one application. You wnat to know how they started skinning, what's their favorit skin, how do they start a visual style, what apps do they use; ask and see what happens.
There are lots of questions I've wanted to ask of all these guys and gals at once. In a perfect world I'd get them all at SD HQ and fire up a camera.
Having said all that . . . I don't know If I can pull this off. I'll try if you will. Send your questions to zubaz@wincustomize.com and we'll see what happens.
I think that the Masters will buy into this. I think the community will too.
Wish us luck

with any thing a little fluff makes us look a little more human and not just a nick on a screen...
my True questions
How many skin full time? as in this is their daily main stay and how many hold down other jobs?
What is your favorite pizza combination?
What was your defining factor to start skinning? who or what prompted your skinning career
what is your favorite app to skin?
do you ever apply old themes and relive the old days?
is there any changes you would like to see in terms of skinning apps? like maybe making it easyer to skin an app? (trilllian is a killer to skin)
does it bother you when a Fan directly contacts you to say thanks or show their appreciation?
more to come as i think of them..
