Monday, December 15, 2008 by Island Dog | Discussion: OS Customization

This years GUI Champs was huge, and icon packs definitely took center stage, but there was also an incredible showing in the WindowBlinds category as well.  We saw entries from veteran skinners, and saw plenty of new faces.  Hopefully, these users will stick around and start submitting over to WinCustomize.com as well.

With that being said, lets take a closer look at some of the beautiful WindowBlinds skins submitted to the 2008 GUI Championships.  These skins also are the finalists in the Best Overall category.

These skins are free to download at www.guichamps.com

Plastic and metal are recyclable, so You both get a  thumbs up from Your friendly neighborhood garbageman!

yeah, but if you don't recycle them and simply throw them away the Plastic will still be around 800,693 years from now littering the landscape with foreign shapes and materials. The Eloi, being a peacefull society will simply ignore it and step aside. The Murlocks however are going to be pissed. They may pick it up and bean an innocent Eloi aside the skull with it before they eat him. Very dangerous material. Best to stick with a metal theme to be truely environmentaly concious.
