Being a GUI fanatic, my second fav is right here on WinCustomize. My favorite is Skinartistry where I am most active. Link

Obviously, he's all about integrity!
A Southern Rockin' Skinning turtle...what a concept!
Skinartistry.com, with the talents of Po'Smedely has a new mascot. We are looking for suggestions for a name for him. You're invited over to help us out, you will need to sign up to make use of our forum and poll, but you will also see all of what Skinartistry has to offer! http://skinartistry.com
"Wisdom of the ages" comes when you need a fire extinguisher to put out all the candles (that would be me...next year) Happy Birthday!
The colors put me in mind of the "Zippo" theme. You should be able to find it in the libraries here.
Icechat is another good one, and it is freeware.
I belive he pulled all of his works from everywhere it was posted, not just here. I have looked in other places, and have only found broken links. It is a shame, he is/was a most valued skinner!
I have played with it too, and yes, it's amazing eye candy! As bloated as Windows is, I don't know how it would handle your entire desktop experience in "OpenGL"
It has been my experience that you get fewer complaints for a product that was purchased, than one that is given away for free. Isn't life strange? I know where you are coming from with this thread, and I couldn't agree more. Those of us that don't possess the talent or time to create a skin have no right to complain about the quality of what is offered "for free". Virtually all the artists here do want a compliment for a job well done, as well
The path to the task manager in XP home is "C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmgr.exe" provided your OS is installed on the "C" drive, point your shortcut to there.
Maybe they have walked away because of comments like you've made here. Everyone has a different opinion of what is a "good or bad" skin, and threads like this one only serve to discourage the newer skinners from trying. If you want better skins, give it a try yourself, or at least give some "constructive criticism" to the artist that created something that doesn't quite meet your expectations. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Mad.gif"
Sorry about the text size, my browser went bonkers!
You're not alone. Evidently there is a smaller percentage of us who care about what our computer environnment looks like. But those of us who do, are very passionate about it. It is an art form, and most artist are destoned to display their creations. Look around, some people knit sweaters, others make flower arangements, some customize their cars. We all have a nitch to fulfill. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Wink.gif" border=0 AL
I had to go back to the forums page, seems I cant post a comment from the new interface, but it does look nice.
Let us never forget...the price of Independence!
There is an extension called Tab browser Preferences" that you can customize the behavior of your tabs. As for your mp3 player, you should be able to view its contents with Windows Explorer, then you can "drag and drop" between folders.
This might be what you're looking for, the artist is D. Arnaez. http://arnaez.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SkinID=7159&LibID=29&comments=1
I also have an eMachine, the only version of Bootscreen that works for me is 1.0, It's availible here somewhere, but I'm not sure where.
My new favorite web page!
You might want to take a look at Dremples. It sounds like just what you're looking for. Link
Happy birthday!
I am glad to report, Tom aka Bones is back home recovering from his ordeal at the hospital.
We are all saying a prayer for Tom and his family.
With such wisdom and wit, he is beyond his years! Happy Birthday Tom, and many more with health and happiness!
