More sections on WinCustomize?

One of our long policies has been that WinCustomize.com won't add sections for up and coming sections but instead add sections that had already done the leg work themselves to make their program popular.

Are there any programs you wish we had a section for that's become quite popular on its own that we don't have? Or do you feel we have enough sections already for skins? Let us know.

I stil think there should be windowblinds skin to trillian skin convertor but I don't think that's possible.

Hmm trillian. That's only skinnable program I use that's not stardock's. I would love to say XX series of programs but that has been fallen out of favor long time ago.

A section for mobile phone skins on wincustomize would have a benefit on the quality of the current mobile skinning.

Also a photoshop gallery would make it easier to port things from and to different apps.

I think the ObjectDock Library needs to be broken down into two individual libraries much like DesktopX and WindowBlinds.

*ObjectDock - categories would be the existing ones
*ObjectDock Objects - categories would be docklets, individual icons and icons sets

That's about it every other skinnable app I use regularly already has a library

The Beatnik and Kewlpad sections could be nixed. They're not really popular anymore, and Kewlpad isn't even in development these days.

A library for Samurize would be great, the layout for browsing configs and widgets at samurize.com is a little tedious. I'm sure there are loads of people out there who have developed configs/skins and have never uploaded them to share.

I would agree with Essencay that the ObjectDock Library would benefit from spliting because an awful lot of high quality work is lost among stacks of single pngs or the likes.

Just my tupence!

I'm going to have to throw in a big second on Max_ireland 's suggestion for a Samurize section. I've been using Samurize for quite a while, but I find it difficult to locate a good source for configs/skins - aside from samurize.com or CRNI's site.

I would think another messaging application section would be popular, depending on what is used/skinned a lot. We hear calls for Trillian a lot, but I don't see a lot of skins for it on the net. There do seem to be a lot of MSN skins, but I'm not sure which is used more.

As an aside, a little pruning of little used/skinned apps wouldn't be a bad idea either.

I think there needs to be some sort of section re-arrangment.

Sections to nuke:
Wallpapers
ICQ+
Beatnik
KewlPad
Dashboard
WebBlinds
PocketBlinds

Sections to add:
Trillian
ObjectDock Icons
ObjectDock Backgrounds
ObjectDock Docklets

MYIE2 (now Maxthon), Firefox, Thunderbird, and Opera. Thunderbird should see a large amount of activity when it goes 1.0, which should be in a couple of months.

/me is happy with the sections we have.

A fire fox section would be nice but so far all of the Mozilla browsers are like trying to hit a moving target with the skins. With each new revision all the skins have to be changed....

Maybe this is a bit much to ask, but I have always wished there was a Palm PDA skin section. But, I guess there's not a lot of demand for the Pocketblinds, so probably there won't be much for the Palm. But, I have skins on my Palm from Palmgear. Just a thought.............

Mozilla skins for sure. They should be split up or organized for the different versions of mozilla, firefox and etc.

First i want to Nay on the sug above to remove wallpapers. I come here to find wallpapers from time to time, and always find something to like. .

Also, i would want to add my voice to the call for a trillian section. Perhaps having it here would add more to its SKIN reputation and draw more skinners to skin it too.
