Haven't we "Over Burden" Our Skinners

Haven't we "Over Burden" Our Skinners

Just felt that we have

Hi folks!!!

Since last few days, I am feeling as we have "Over Burderned" our skinners.
For instance, in good old days of win9x and 2000 era, our skinners just had lesser components to customize. They just had to go for start button, task bar, menu bar, title bar, some buttons, and scrollbars (forgive if I have missed something). But now, just imagine how many components they have for customization.
In the same tredition, there were very few icons which needed to be customized but now a "Good" package should have atleast 50+ icons and bust must have over 70 customized icons.
Needs for customizing DX has increased too. Lots of gedgets, objects, layers, and scripting. Logon Studio, cursorXP, Boot screens, and right click have emerged as well ...

What do you folks say about it. ....

So guess what? I'm going to do just that. I have a plethra of unfinished skins that I think someone could finish or make additions to. I'll put it in the comments and add the GNU (or whatever) contract so that anyone is free to finish skinning the skin... now if it only makes it through moderation... LOL


Nice idea btw why not to add a GNU Skins Section/sub section ... ?

Z71:And ~Fairy, I've made a couple for the ladies, because my girlfriend kept complaining that I didn't make any that were for the (girls)


~I know you have and so have many others. That really wasn't my point at all. Most didn't really get my point. I never was complaining about the skins. 50% can be altered and recolored. Most of my " woman " comments had only stemmed from previous questions and or compliments I have made that had been ignored at other times. So it made me wonder why it was ignored? Was it because im a woman or because I have no Title before my name...well....unless you count my " squiggle "

But...I will continue to compliment each skinner because they work hard...and are kind enough to share their tallent..and again, as far as skinning everything... Im happy with a skinned taskbar and a start menu..the rest is just " gravey " and how much gravey is put on..is up to the skinner.

I think people who skin should work together. They could combine their stuff and make relly cool packages.
