"My name is Dave and......

from WinCustomize Forums
I'm a skinner."

I think I need to find a self help group for people addicted to skinning. Everytime I finish a skin I tell myself that I'm going to take a bit of a break, but never do. I've been working on a new skin since about 11am this morning and it's now after 11pm. I seriously doubt that I'll go to sleep until this skin is done.

What the hell is happening to me ?!?!?

Dont fret Dave. I worked a good 24 hours (2 strait 12 hour days) on a OB and DX port of Dangerusse's new Autumn HoverDesk theme...

I don't see a problem Dave, it all sounds quite normal to me!

If I could do nothing but make skins I'd work at least 14 hours a day doing it... I don't want to be cured either... just want more time to skin Don't worry davad, now that you're hooked you get to do the twelve step program -> WB, ICQ, Winamp, NS, HD, WMP, OB, well... you get the idea...

Go talk on some programmer/sysop forum. Thos guys are so anti-skin, they'll talk you out of it in no time.

Okay, they won't, but it'll be a laugh.

I have exactly the same problem. I'm currently fighting an internal battle over whether to finish and release v3.0 of tactile - with 18 subskins!! I even lay awake at night thinking of how to skin some little feature...

Gee - I think I have just discovered I'm normal! Keep telling myself I have to stop doing this and get some work done (of course that was 3 hours ago and completely forgot about the work). Even got my husband interested in this stuff. Of course he doesn't skin, but he sure is a good critic. And yes, I too, have said I was going to take a break, but somehow I end up toying around with something and before I know it it's a skin. Oh, well.....the saga continues.

Davad,

It's addictive even if you are the only one who uses the skinz.

Like Jafo I'm still in the process of completing my desktop..

I have been uising and tweaking Slim_T now for over a year, I may even have a WBXP release soon...


BTW when will we see a xp version of the Jafo skinz?

TasT...I've been busy with making sure that LS works with each and every version of 'Doze....eventually, I'll get to the WB skins and update....but it seems that XP deals with the title bar a bit differently, and my trans bits ain't as they should be...

I'm using BlindJafoTrans Ver3.0 and the only problem I have is the lack of a left border? WB3.2a. The title bar seems to be just like it should be...

since last October I became a professioanl skinner...now imagine that I skin for over 85 hours per week now. Does this makes me a terminal adicted?
