jazzytrippy... there are no virus's attached to this file. As for your opinion of the animations in the skin, lets try to phrase them in a more constructive way, mmkay?

I would advise you to check your system for spyware, since its very unlikely that you got any viruses or spyware from stuff here at WinCustomize.

My system is fine. Never had a problem until I downloaded this one. I have plenty of protection. You might want to make sure on your end.

As to my comments-frustration because of what happened and the creators earlier comments to others.

Thanks

Oh, and just so you know..... I quit skinning over 8 months ago because of people like you. So you don't have to worry about getting a virus from one of my skins, 'cos there ain't gonna be any.
And something else to consider........ 28,000 people have downloaded this skin, so how come only YOU got a vrus from it. Sounds rather silly doesn't it?

And a snippet from one of my earlier comments..... " It would seem that the concept of, "I skin for myself, yet I am willing to share with all of you" has been lost somewhere. Stardock gave WindowBlinds the ability to have an animated taskbar, I took advantage of that ability and made a skin that I like. I placed it here in case anyone else wanted one too. Besides, over 13,000 people have downloaded the skin so far, and around 5 people have complained, which would suggest that the majority are enjoying the theme. I think it's time that people were reminded that this is a site for SHARING skins, and don't treat the authors as if they were receiving some kind of remuneration for this".

'Nuff said...... bye.

This is the most ridiculous comment I ever seen in my life. BoXXi you deserve good honest comments complimenting you on your fine work efforts not bitch about nonsense from self centered assinine people like that guy.

Hey Boxxi !! Well done on a fantastic skin . . . I love the colours - in fact , I love the whole kitten caboodle . . . I can only admire people like yourself who selflessly skin for the WC community - for no charge .... no remuneration .... just for the sheer pleasure of letting people use your skins . . . . I myself (at my age ) find that making a skin is just a little to complicated , so I tend to rely on people like yourself to help to make my desktop look pretty good , and as far as I am concerned , on behalf of the huge majority who like your work I would like to say a really BIG HEARTFELT THANK YOU VERY MUCH . . .
You put a lot of WORK into this skin , and you deserve the plaudits and thank you's from the majority ...

Regards from Cheshire !!

Thanks Mike, that's nice to hear. Now, you say that, "at my age, making a skin is too complicated". Nonsense!, I'm 49 years old, and I didn't get my first computer until I was 41. Give it a shot, you would be surprised how much you learn doing it, and you can always get help from people here. I would help you out if you needed it too.

Thanks again.

I'm blown away by some of these posts! I LOVE this skin and had I downloaded it a llloonnnggg time ago when you made and was one of the first to comment on it, I woulda said, "Is there a way to shut off the animations?" If Boxxi said no then fine, no biggie. I have tried to do a skin and quit because it took so long and took so much time....I applaud you for your work. This is very unique and MUST have taken A LOT of work. Is there a way to edit it to turn off the animation? (Skin Studio, etc) Thanks Boxxi, and its a shame you aren't gonna skin again. You did a great job.

Respectfully submitted.

erwizard: If you send me an e-mail to boxxi@ntlworld.com I will happily send you a version with no animation on the taskbar. And thank you for your comments and your respect. Easy really, isn't it?

5 years ago I first discovered Window Blinds. I thought it was a very neat and artistic tool, one that quite literally changed the face of a greater part of our everyday lives (our PCs). Browsing thru the list of various skins that were available at the time, I stumbled upon Glossamer and instantly fell in love with it. At the time, my PC was already considered ancient and sluggishly tried to keep up with the animations. Regardless I still kept the skin around for quite some time until performance while gaming became a priority. Recently I built a new PC and went from a very humbling 33g HDD to 500gbs. Revelling in the newly acquired space I thought "What can I do with this new stuffs?" and Windwblinds near instantly came to mind, an application that I had nearly forgotten for some 3 years. 

I began searching for "Gossamer" and was decidedly disappointed, finding nothing of my old joy that once was. After some time, while searching for new backgrounds, I stumbled upon a "Glossamer" background, instantly recognizeable as being the original that went with the skin and realized my error.

Please, let me extend my thanks to you, your time and your artistic nature. This blind is simply a work of beauty, one that I have kept in my mind for 5 years.

Some people are selfish, some rude and others are just quite innocently irgnorant of what impact their words can have on others, wether they are said in the sincerest of polite and positive manners or not. Don't take too much to heart, especially when it comes to the clamoring of the masses. It is quite eveident that you are happy with what you have accomplished and at the end of it all, that is truly the only thing that should matter.

Again, thank you for creating such a wonderful piece and also for deciding to share it with all of us.
