This Week in Skinning - August 15th

Skin Roundup for 8-15-08

Friday, August 15, 2008 by Island Dog | Discussion: OS Customization

Another Friday, another week is done.  A tremendous amount of skins came through the submission pipes this week, and as usual, it was a tough pick.  I have to say once again how pleased I am about the skinning activity over the summer, it didn't slack of, and in fact it has increased!

I hope some of you are already getting your GUI Champs skins ready.

Now for this weeks picks!

Rocky for CursorFX
by PuterDudeJim

This cursor took some inspiration from the Boulder skin, but it's a cursor theme that will go with many other themes as well.

by Carguy1

This is a nice, relaxing dream that isn't distracting at all.  Well done.

Green Piece for RightClick

Not sure what it was, but this skin for RightClick just seemed to catch my eye.  It's a very detailed design.  Great work.

Jungle Drums for SoundPackager
by hallv5

There are some very unique sounds in this pack for SoundPackager, but if you want something different than the default Windows sounds, this is for you.

A 3D skin.  That's all I need to say, so just download it and check it out for yourself.

How can they be cursors if they're from the OD library?
