Alexandrie is a genius

from WinCustomize Forums
It has to be said. She's been working on these incredible skins that are only available internally at Stardock right now as we decide what to do with them for the WindowBlinds 3 launch. But these skins are just plain incredible. She's the one who is making skins like XP Charcoal, XP Platinum, XP Copper, XP Cobalt, XP Emerald, Lemon. Now one might think that it's just a matter of taking one of the existing XP skins and changing the hue or something. It's not. She's really done some amazing stuff here.

She's really talented, even for a Canadian which says a lot since all the people we work with in graphics heavily are from Canada. Clearly something in the water in Canada.

I just had to get that off my chest, she's a artistic genius. But she's too humble to acknowledge it!

Can't wait to see the work... I just can't fathom how she has time to do it all.

We have given that some thought. The consensus is that she has an inter-dimensional portal generator or IDPG for short. She uses is to step out side "reality" as we know into a dimension in which time is meaningless. When she has completed somethign she's working on, she merely re-enters our local dimension with the results.

Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if she's in another dimension as we speak.

Nice job on the skin primer Brad

And of course I agree about the enormous talent of Alex! She's a true wonder and (dare I say it?) a national treasure... should be a statue of her in Quebec...

Alex is not only a great artist, but a very nice person too. She helped me when I needed it, and even installed Messenger so that she could talk to me, as I didn't have icq. Now that's beyond the call of duty!
More power to you Alex.
