WinCustomize Moderator Picks of 2008
Tuesday, January 6, 2009 by Island Dog | Discussion: OS Customization
It’s that time to start doing our own “best of 2008” lists, and today I wanted to start out with some skins that our team of moderators picked. Picking one skin from the enter year is difficult, especially considering the amount of skins that come through moderation, but I was curious if there was a skin that just seemed to stick out in their minds.
So with that I present the WinCustomize moderator picks of 2008.
WOM chose Chiluly Glass Bridge Ceiling by OutdoorPictures
“Makes you feel like your walking down the hallway. Really looks great on my 23in WS.”
Lantec picked Aero Executive by Stardock Design
“Skin of the year was an easy pick for me......it's the one I used the most and still hesitate over when "redecorating".”
Snowman went with Zing by JJ Ying
“What defines a skin as 'skin of the year'? For me it's a skin you can/will keep on returning to when every other skin just doesn't cut it. Zing by JJ Ying does in my opinion by far qualify as the top contender in this category!”
HG_Eliminator picked No Load Limit XP by I.R. Brainiac
“While the choosing just one skin was very difficult, No Load Limit By I.R. Brainiac, Stood out as epic. It really shines on a few levels. It looks absolutely fantastic and it really showcases WB's ability to go beyond functional minimalist desktops and in to the realm of wild and fun, while still maintaining functionality. With this WB there is no Limit to the Fun.”
Erk chose Wraith by SKoriginals
“I keep returning to this skin after trying on others for a while.
But then I'm a huge fan of dark skins, and this one IS one of Shawn's best yet.”

Bravo to all of the top choices. It had to be very difficult to pick.
Thanks also to each and every skinner who has created the most complicated project right down to the most simple screenshot. It takes all of us to make this community.

I'm with you, Snowman...Zing is clean, fast, dark and so well done....for me (who's a skin nut) it's just superb. I hope JJ knows of the pick.
Congrats to all the choices...each is a 'special' and deserving of honors.
In a wider sense I wish to extend to each artist who posts a work of individual art. It is a courageous act!
My
to each and every one of them for their courage and inspiration. A sincere "Thank You!" from me.
