This Week in Skinning - November 16th

Skin Roundup for 11-16-07

Friday, November 16, 2007 by Island Dog | Discussion: Community

The Thanksgiving holiday is just less than a week away, but unfortunately I didn't come across too many Thanksgiving inspired skins.  That won't be a problem because I have a feeling this Christmas and winter season will be fantastic for skinning.  Speaking of which, next week I will begin making calls for seasonal skins and help once again with this years Holiday Skin Guide.

The WinCustomize Charity/Subscription Drive is still going on, and aside from the subscriptions, several Master Skinners are also participating with many great skins, so be sure to check it out.  If you would like to help spread the word about the drive, I wrote an article explaining how you can put banners on your websites and blogs to help.

Now for this weeks picks!

 
Curvy for CursorXP
B
y Richard Mohler

This is a new favorite of mine.  Richard has created a gorgeous cursor that I have used with several skins and it goes well with many.  Great job.

 

 
RC Radio in DesktopX Widgets
By buzzh58

Buzzh58 created this to fit perfectly inside a RightClick menu, but it works just as well stand-alone. 

 

Good Night Earth in Dreams
By TheMasterBaron

This new Master Skin is one of the highest quality .dreams I have seen in a while.  Very nice.

 

Footure for IconPackager
By mrSkope

There has been a lack of IP themes lately, but when one comes along it sure is a good one.  This pack comes with over 120 icons for Vista and XP, although there are no Live Folders yet.

 

Turbo Tabbed & Side Docks for ObjectDock
By WebGizmos

WebGizmos has once again created an awesome set of dock backgrounds for the Turbo WindowBlinds from Stardock Design.  Nice work.

 

Opaloid in Wallpapers
By radnor27

This reminds of an image of a nebula, but whatever it was designed to be it's beautiful.  A widescreen version is also available.

 

WhiteFire2 for WindowBlinds
By basj

WhiteFire is definitely "hot" with a wonderful use of design and colors.  There are quite a few matching skins including cursors, widgets, logons, etc.  Be sure to download this one.

 

Another great week, and I want to start hearing from people who plan on creating some holiday inspired skins.  Whatever you are working on always feel free to stop by the "What are you working on" thread and give us a peek at what you are working on.  See you next week!
