This Week in Skinning - March 7th

Skin Roundup for 3-7-08

Friday, March 7, 2008 by Island Dog | Discussion: Community

The first week of the month, and up to this point in the year, the submissions to WinCustomize have been fantastic.  Everything from .dreams, to wallpapers, to WindowBlinds skins have been looking great.  I hope this momentum keeps going into the spring and summer, which is typically a slower time for skinning.

We still have the WinCustomize Community Contest III going on.  Time is running out so be sure to get your submissions in before the deadline. 

Now for this weeks picks!

 

MICROZOA for CursorFX
by Chuckeye

This is one of the coolest cursors I have seen in a while.  The animation is great and really makes your desktop stand out.

 

Aero Metal widget for DesktopX Widgets
by bilbo1930

Here is a fantastic weather and calendar widget to match the popular Aero Metal WindowBlinds skin.

 

Utopia Prime in Dreams
by TheMasterBaron

One of my favorite Master .dreams to date is Utopia Prime.  The animation is subtle, but still stunning.

 

Organic for IconPackager
by Skinhit

Always good to see icon packs submitted, and Skinhit has delivered a really unique looking package, that really caught my eye this week.  Great job.

 

Toucan in Wallpapers
by vlad

This wallpaper immediately caught my eye.  I just really love the design of this one.


 

In the mix in Wallpapers
by Richard Mohler

Richard has been turning the wallpapers out, and it was a tough choice between this and "Cone art".  Be sure to check out his gallery for more.

 

Black Tree vol.2 in Wallpapers
by PhoeniXLegenda

Another one of my favorite wallpapers, with two different versions in multiple resolutions.  Very nice.

StealthOS for WindowBlinds
by MikeB314

StealthOS is one of my all time favorite WindowBlinds skins, so I was very happy to see MikeB314 take the time to update it for WB6 and Vista.

There were so many great skins this week, especially in the wallpapers sections.  I had a hard time choosing the ones to feature, so don't forget to check the galleries because I know you will find some more great works there.  See you next week!
