WC Poll: Favorite WB Master Skin

https://www.wincustomize.com/webpoll.aspx
from WinCustomize Forums

Last week I took a quick poll on how people were using the new WC Wiki (if at all).  I was looking for an approximate breakdown of readers vs contributors and was pleasantly surprised by how many people say they're contributing content.  Here are the numbers and a nice graph.  As you can see, over half of the respondents are actually using the Wiki, which is impressive for such a new site. 

Yes, and I've even been contributing 12.12%
Yes, though only to read 43.94%
No, I'm not interested 24.24%
No, I wasn't aware there was a wiki 19.7%
   

This week, it's time to take another look at the Master Skins program we've been running on WinCustomize since the launch of the new site back in January.  Not counting content from Stardock Design, we have 18 skins/suites/gadgets for sale on the site from regular community members, with more coming in the future.  What I'm wondering is, which of the WindowBlinds skins/suites is the most popular among the users.  I could look at sales figures to see who has sold the most, but that favors the first people to submit to the program, and doesn't necessarily indicate customer satisfaction.  So this week's poll is for you to vote on your favorite (non-Stardock Design) skin in the Master Skins program so far.

Here are your options:

Suite 18 by adni18 Nuage by essorant AeroS by JJ Ying
Optix by MikeB314 StingRay by Z71 Relent by brewman
Knot Vista by I.R. Brainiac Odyssey Suite by vStyler Intrigue by SK Originals
Challenger by treetog    

Results next week.

Glad you did it this way.

I wanted to place more emphasis on the community contributions to the program.  They deserve a lot more attention than they've been getting.

Hard to decide but I went with the one that has the most to offer and is the most usable too. Also the eye candy has got to be knock out. This ain't easy to do so my choice has to have all of the above. I voted. It's my secret. Never divulge who you vote for!

I had to go with Optix. Was the first Master Skin I purchased, just couldn't help myself when I saw it.

Sure would be nice if it showed how many votes each option got though after voting.

IMHO from the picture view i think they all kick ass.the colors are great, the layout is awesome as well. but since i don't use windowblinds i'm not gonna vote cause i can't view them in their desktop form.if i could vote i would more & likely vote for all of them since they all look like great skins.

hard poll
my vote Knot and Odyssey..

it's a toss between Nuage, Optix and Challenger. If you put a gun to my head (and you almost did), I'd choose Optix.

Those 3 skins are miles ahead of the rest. I know, it's the "old guard" choice, but damnit, Essorant, MikeB and Treetog simmply leave the rest in the dust!

Shall I tell my least favorite ?

No..that wasnt the question was it ...but the point of a pole is to vote without fanfare.

Definite vote here for Odyssey! Fantastic skin, leaves all the others in the dust! Some are too dark to use, some look just so-so, and most have all the "glitz" but lack functionality. Odyssey by far surpasses them all!

Well...I 'could' vote for Odyssey...but I better not cos vStyler gave it to me.

Now, if everyone of the others were to send theirs to me also...well...then we're talkin' ....

Jafo,its in my upload notes...all Stardock employees and Wincustomise mods can have the skin for the taking...if they actually want it.

Mine is not listed! The one I regularly use that is...So I'm not voting either way - I guess well I do use the new one by SK on my XP Professional tho...
Intrique then...

I have a master skin that has been around for a long time now - the which has been completely redesigned for Vista and works very excellent! Gona be a hard one to ever beat!
Not saying what it is either.... heheheeee

But with SK's new one I've done my own trillian skin and just about everything else over with some new touches of the design to make it work a bit better for me... ya it's gona be Intrique by SK
