dinks DX or 8-Ball? You decide...

I seem to be doing so many things at once that nothing's really getting finished. Maybe it says something about my thought processes that I tend to have around 5 personal projects on the go at once.

Anyway, I'd like to get some opinion from those people waiting for either my '8-Ball' skin or the update of 'dinks' for XP. Which would you most like to see first? They're both in similar states of completion (window borders, scrollbars and buttons so far), so I seem to keep jumping back and forth between the two and not making a whole lot of progress as a result.

Currently 8-Ball looks quite good, although it's probably one of the most simple looks I've ever created for a skin. It's sort of a black polished chrome with white circles all over the place - very much like an 8-Ball in fact.

dinks DX (as the remake seems to have renamed itself), is a complete redesign of the original dinks skin to make it look the way I originally intended when I made it all that time ago. Think of a cross between the original and the smooth rubber look of my 'tactile' skin. IMHO it looks much better than the original, while still keeping the same overall look and layout.

So, which should I focus my attention on. I don't have much time for skinning, and now there's so much extra stuff that needs skinning as a result of the new 3.4 version of WindowBlinds a skin is likely to take a bit longer anyway.

Of course, if you don't know what I'm talking about, or really don't care, you can say so too.

Damn you greyhaze, just when I was looking forward to seeing your 8-ball skin, you offer to update one of my all time favourite skins.

Well, I'd say work on what gives you the most pleasure. That said, not having seen 8-ball but having used Dinks in the past, I can only say I'd love to have an updated Dinks. Though I want both. Now. Now! NOW!

Well that's 4 votes for each. Now I'm back to square one!

I guess I'll keep working on both until I get bored with one of them. I'll still finish both eventually, but I know how much people have wanted a good update for dinks. I've been promising I'd do one to all the people that keep mailing me too!

As is probably the case with all skinners, I also have two others in the works, but I'm not even going to tell you about those for fear of getting an even wider spread of votes...
