ahem, from the expression: I can either kick ass or pass out bubble gum, and I'm all out of bubble gum.

it always amazes me, the way a few of those who "cant do", seem to be so great at telling those who can, how easy it is to do, but yet they themselves never do....

Sorry. Post 21 included in carrying the torch.

So where did the critic go?

Thats just my point, that aint what im looking for, thats just like any other skin. Meh, wont find what im looking for anyway, not until the shell community start doing some real original work as the winamp skin community has for the past 5 years


...it's sad really

Oh well, I warned you about those torches.....

Almost every winxp skin/shell customization is pretty much designless, with a few simple patterns and colors to try to diversify them from eachother.


oh please, I've seen your *ahem* gallery at ArtUproar.

you know i've only made one skin and reworking it for a second skin and i can tell you there is only so mutch you can do with the skin! you can't move the scrollbar to the other side. you probably dont want to move the buttons on the top to far from where they start from because most people are used to them being there. i suggest you make your computer look like the old "CLASSIC" way!


now somebody fine me a pitchfork!

But nothing truly designed, basically just changed colors, it sucks




Make your own.

You can't ever compare a WB skin to Winamp skin. Trust me I skin both applications and it is a thousand times easier to create a winamp skin than it is to skin a WB skin.
Now if what you're looking for is a skin with lots of weird textures and details (such as Aliens 'The Movie' style) you wont find that many. People give artist more than a hard time because the skins are to 'busy' (and these are given for free)
Bottom line is, if you can't find what you are looking for, make it your self or pay to get it done.
Demands for free stuff on a public forum of a community that already gives enough things for free it's not a good idea.

All the artists so far mentioned above are great and I really do not understand why you cant find anything you like by any of them....

Heres a skin that may or may not be what your looking for, If it isnt then perhaps you should create it and upload it here so that we may "Critique" it!..

Anyway, see what you think of this skin Link

You'd think that someone who's been around that long would have an idea about this community. Seems he mustn't drop in here much, else he'd know exactly whats available on the site. He'd also know that bashing the work of the good folk here won't win him any friends/assistance.


Good luck in your [lonely] search.

Seems not.....was going to suggest something an admin did, but then I figured.......

Not everything is going suit everyone's tastes, but at the end of the day the majority shows respect for the time, efforts and talents of the artist who post here, so derogatory remarks aren't going to win respect from any of them.

Shoot, I've been searching endlessly for a skin that not only looks out of this world, but one that will also read my what's on my mind and open the browser to automatically search the net for it.....refill my cup in the process
