And remember, to be a true artist, you have to be dead, or at least you have to cut off your ear....something to show you're really serious about your art.

CRUMBUT as the "founder of the first community skin project"

Just throwing in pitches for the Skinners Hall of Fame Project.

How bout a list of 20 or 30 or 40 etc. Too many favorites. Sounds like trouble to me. Here's my top 40 list. It's all about style and there are so many!

Slinky thinks motion's right on it but please stay alive and whole

I don't know if it is the first WinAmp skin but i found a shot called BackAMP StoneAge http://www.saunalahti.fi/ermer/pictures/hack-1.jpg

It was created by Fli7e back in '98 and he had to hack it using "Renovator" because WinAmp didn't have skin support until version 1.8

Allen Bond, Shawn Murdock, Crumbut, Treetog, Mercury and Alexandrie would be my picks for a WB hall of fame.

All super cool

Hey nobody said APB???? and there are other, believe me, all the stuffs I downloaded I know everybody work like the back of my.... well not that good.

So what is the deal with this thread, just a thought or something that is a possibility to actually have??

/me thinks some people have already been alienated by this thread because their names were not mentioned.

joetheblow: I really hope you're wrong...we don't need to lose more gifted skinners.

There are so many fine artists here.

I think people are getting the wrong idea about this thread >

Like I said before: EGO'S. I like most of the skinners mentioned but not all of their works. I also like works by other skinners not mentioned, but not all of their works. So, again, whats the criteria? Who gets picked and who gets stiffed?

When i started this thread, i had an idea for making a little Hall of Fame site for WindowBlind skins and i was merely asking for people's input on whom the first five inductees should be. It has turned into more of a history site now, but now...i don't know. WiseOldMan has warned me of "too many egos".

> Why do people have to be this way >

Why would people be alienated? People...please read the whole thread. Sheesh

No special order here

well they should be able to produce nec coffee mugs

I'm tired and I'm going to bed.

Please people. Don't take this thread the wrong way. I meant no harm, it was just an idea. Please no more top 5 lists okay? Although i am still interested in a skinning history site.

Thanks

I am only one year in skinning community and about only 6 moths as a WindowBlind skinner. I don't know the work of the skinners that are not active any more here in WinCustomize. From what I know, my list is the following, with no special order and a list of five only is not enough, because I must exclude some very good authors, any way, here is my list:

APB
Alexandrie
Treetog
Mercury
MikeB314

i don't like to say 5 names/skins, so i say only one name for WindowBlinds:
ESSORANT-A
ESSORANT-I
(I) means imagination
