WC Poll: Preferred Skin Style

WC Poll: Preferred Skin Style

https://www.wincustomize.com/webpoll.aspx

Welcome back Skinning Fans to yet another week of icons, wallpapers, animated desktops and lively forum debate.  To kick the week off right, it's time for yet another poll.  Yes, yes, I know, you're wondering to yourself what deep and insightful question I could possibly ask this week.  Well, after much debate, and several extremely unhelpful suggestions from the peanut gallery (Favorite Way to Skin a Cat just didn't seem like a good idea), a good one was suggested by our game dev intern, mittens.

But before we get into the new question, we should recap last week's poll and the results.  Last Monday, I listed out all of the non-Stardock Design skins released in the Master Skins program so far.

By a good margin, the favorite released to-date is Knot Vista by I.R. Brainiac.  Coming in second was Optix by MikeB314.  Here's the breakdown:

Pretty good spread overall.  Hopefully in the coming months we'll have even more master skins to vote on in future polls

Now, on to this week's question...  What is your Preferred WindowBlinds Skin Style? 

  • Tech-y
    Skins that evoke a machine/computerized look.  They're usually on the dark side, and use sharp edges and lines.
  • Bright & Clean
    Skins that use lighter colors and soft edges.  Usually easier on the eyes.
  • Minimalistic
    Skins that provide a clean, simple interface without any bulky edges or menus.
  • Wacky/Over-the-Top
    Skins that just go nuts with the cool effects, thick textured borders, over-the-top colors and elements.
  • Other
    Did I miss a type?  Let us know what your "Other" style is in the comments below.

Results, as always, next week.

My favorite type of skin overall would be a worn, industrial look, like an old factory. The combo I find myself using the most is:
WB: Crudemetals 2 by Mindless Puppet (A substyle of Organix 3: Hostile Takeover}
Cursor: Oxide by Tycus
IP: Can't find one that really fits this theme, still looking.
