How about all Object Desktop, Firefox, maybe some widgets too. Kapsules, DX, Konfabulator (Yahoo! Widget Engine now). Maybe something simple like wallpapers too.

Only 3 catagories? Windowblinds (of course), Iconpackager, and either winamp (I'm still using the skins from the last competition) or Cursor XP (both would be favorite). I'd like to see all the websites from last Olympics back agin and maybe Dangeruss would like to rip out a skin or too

Windowblinds and Iconpackager are a must, perhaps this time you should highlight some of the programs which havn't quite been skinned to their full potential yet, such as Desktopx (maybe best desktop theme, and then a best widget/gadget category) or the new objectbar (when's that going to come out of beta and become a general release btw?); and a windows media player category would be nice as well.
Oh, and I really think you should create a new category "best skin suite", which must contain at least a windowblinds, iconpackage, logon, boot, and cursor; having a great windowblinds skin is awesome, but having a whole suite of matching skins is even better (a lot of entries in the last GUI olympics ended up making suites anyway, so I really think you should consider adding this as a category).

WB, BootSkin, CXP, IP?

By the way, only three categories? Seeing as how it [was] called the GUI olympics, I should think there would be a lot of categories covering a wide range of programs...

Reply #57 January 5, 2006 6:58 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

CursorXP, WB and DX Gadgets...

...But of course, Trillian, 'amp, and IP (respectively) are good too.


I think if you have skin categories that are more 'universal,' like winamp and trillian (as opposed to 'just' for stardock products), it will draw more people in from other sites.

I'd have to go with WindowBlinds (a definite), Rainlender, DesktopX objects/widgets, Icon Packager, CursorXP (in that order).
I use lots of DX objects/widgets and I'd like to see even more inventive and useful ones come about.

MOST DEFINATELY...WB & IP. I would also like to see more creative Gadgets!

Reply #60 January 5, 2006 8:46 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

I'd be very surprised to see CursorXP, Bootskin, Rainlender or Sysmetrix as part of the entries.
Windowblinds and Iconpackager alone takes 2 to 3 weeks or more to complete.
Sorry, but all the afor mentioned items can be done in a day, sometimes hours.

If the prizes are the same, for all the categories, then why do a WB or IP at all.
Does anyone believe that a person would spent 3 weeks to make a CursorXP?
I may be talking from the hip, because I don't know how they will have it set up this year.
This might all be moot.

Yeah, maybe 3 major ones, like WB, IP and something else. But also a few of the more 'minor' ones. Just like the real Olympics has silly sports like curling or skeleton, we should have skins for some programs other than the big 3, whatever they end up being.

Reply #62 January 5, 2006 11:45 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

WB, IP & CXP

Ditto

Reply #63 January 6, 2006 12:44 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

WindowBlinds, IconPackager and Gadgets/Widgets (created in Kapsules, Samurize, DesktopX.. and maybe Y! widget engine too..)

Blinds/Packager take care of the Stardock categories, while the gadgets/widgets categories take care of non-stardock part.

frankly a mediaplayer as 3rd category is getting a bit old now...
morever gadgets/widgets are the IN thing nowadays plus the possiblities are endless...
yup, choosing a winner would be difficult but hey.. thats waht GUI olympics is all about..

Windowblinds, WindowFX, and Icon Packager.
No one makes WindowFX themes anymore.

Reply #65 January 6, 2006 3:34 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

WB
IP
Firefox

Gogo Firefox!

Skinyourscreen, Artuproar/Lotsofskins could also be part of it.

Reply #67 January 6, 2006 5:57 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

WindowBlinds for ever !

Reply #68 January 6, 2006 7:20 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

I vote for Windowblinds, Icon packager, and DesktopX there is a lack of DesktopX skins that I find usable.

Reply #69 January 6, 2006 7:41 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

1) Wallpapers (long time since I saw a really good one...I think it's the most basic, since it covers the whole desktop!!!)
2) WB (the most impressive and with long way to go...)
3) Dx (long long way to go...!)

Happy new year to everybody

I think Winamp category should have to be divided in winamp classic and winamp modern. What do you think?

I'd like to see some good stuff from www1.1001skins.com

Reply #71 January 6, 2006 11:13 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

I think if theres going to be winamp, it should be Winamp Modern skins only.

Reply #72 January 6, 2006 1:33 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top
