lol I actually have that and have been waiting to come across other things that would give me a reason to use it in a screenshot

Oops..........  

3 yrs ago my name wouldnt have even been mentioned in a thread like this...So I gotta say thanks to those members who mentioned me...Wizard1956, Xiandi, Kittymalone, Mr. and Mrs. Starkers and Zakai1369, it truly means a lot...Seriously, thank you!!!

JJYing, KkONne(Darkfussion) and Lgp85 and many more....

I could not pick any one as they all are tops in my book.

Treetog,Alexandrie,BoXXi,Jafo,RomanDA,nauticalPixel,PixelPirate.,Rpeterclark,Starone,Snowman,Hippy,2of3,Nimbin... the list is endless, as each artist brings something special with them and a style all their own. I could never choose just one.


Thanks to all the artists who offer us their time and efforts to bring us the beautiful desktops we enjoy.

nobody remember me... (

All mentioned are wonderful!!   

I do have to give my own props to...

I.R Braniac, who boldly goes where no skinner has gone before.  


The Skins Factory, the best WinMedia skins I have ever used. Miss you guys  ( 


Mormegil, is there anything he cannot do perfectly?    "yes I'm jealous"

nobody remember me too so we will remember each other together

Basj for sure ..even though I'm not sure where he is thesedays...   IR and basically my whole crew.. also Dani, MikeB, PixelPirate and the much busier thesedays sydneysiders.

Everyone is a great skinner in their own way.. if you enjoy it, it's doing something good for you.

Favorites? Hm. Well, keep in mind we're not necessarily saying who's best, just who we prefer. Like KISS vs. Barbra Streisand.

These are not, by any means, in any order of importance whatsoever.

For Windowblinds:

Hippy: Impeccable work. Very clean, very high quality skins. An almost obsessive attention to details.

Tiggz: As Jafo said, he kind of popped up out of nowhere and within a few uploads had won over the hearts and imaginations of nearly everyone who saw his work. Including me. (Hello Tiggz)

Danillo/Treetog: Ok, some might not like that I've lumped them together when they're clearly two very distinctive skinners, but I did so because both create top notch, top quality skins but even more than this (somehow) they produce heavily detailed work. The kind of detail where I can't help but sit back and just shake my head in bewildered amazement. "Are you kidding me? Oh my.." is my typical reaction to either one of their contributions.

MikeB314: Just an amazingly inspired artist. Meticulous attention to details. Always clean, efficient, graphically pleasing skins. Not just with Windowblinds, either.

Essorant: I'd say known for wholly usable skins, characterized by his usual very clean lines, elegant curves and colors. What Danillo does for 'Cool!' factor, Essorant does in 'That's just sexy'.

vStyler: John's excruciating perfectionism absolutely shines through. Unique skins, worlds different from each other yet still contain, somehow, his trademark style; I can typically tell his skins from the thumbnail alone. It's skinners like vStyler that leave me unsure whether to feel totally inspired, or totally defeated.

IR. Brainiac: Pretty difficult to beat his unique style. And if anyone pushes WindowBlinds to it's capable limits, I'd say Brainiac's most certainly one of them. Can definitely tell it's his work from thumbnails alone.

JJ Ying: Another "out of nowhere" kind of skinner, to me. Very nice work. Always fresh, clean, vibrant, wonderful details; cohesive work.

Gabriel: Not sure where he took off to (if anywhere?) but I miss his work. Can't tell you how long I used gPod2 for. Pushed other skinners during his peak times to do more, try harder. Wonderful contributions.

adni18: A definite classic. All of his works ought to come with Windowblinds because they're all, to me, that usable, that clean, that elegant.

PixelPirate: I'm a bit biased on this, his FearFactory skin won me over. You had me at hello, mate! More exquisite attention to the details (It's true: it's all in the details details details, folks. The subtle, the not always discernible or articulated details that comprise a fantastic skin.)

Bones2112: I miss Tom. Not only is Tom a wonderfully selfless aid to others (Like NightTrain) but his work is just simply top notch. Miss seeing a flow of his stuff in the galleries, here. A dedicated, tenacious skinner. Which leads to:

NightTrain: Another skinning great. Am still amazed he was able to create so many skins in such a short period of time *while* maintaining quality, uniqueness and usability. Also a fantastic help, it seems, to any and all who venture his way for assistance. Thanks, Craig.

No doubt I've forgotten - somehow - some, but such is life. You might as well be asking my favorite bands, or musicians. I don't think the forum could handle that request.

ooh, that's becouse you are part of the "and many others...", group     

None of my all time favs are 'active' anymore, so I won't be mentioning them.

Only have one 'active' fave: Kittymalone

Thank you for standing by the frace that any skinner should live by: Innovate, don't imitate

First off.. thanks for the mentions to those who did and even thoes who might have grouped me in the 'many others'

My favs (and I'm picky)...
PixelPirate -- one of a kind stunning work
I.R.Brainiac -- though I rarely if ever use them, great and innovative skins
Mormegil -- just plain awesome
MikeB -- smoothness and style
JJYing -- fantastic overall vision
danillioOc -- would be nice to see another great skin
Tiggz -- great in the past, even better now
Homeryulo -- I so miss his wallpapers, like none other
TSF - (yeah yeah) thier artist are top notch
DigitalCHET -- some wonderful mockups lately, but needs to get 'em out there
PoSmedley -- for being Po'
NightTrain -- for his speed and ideas
Stardock Design -- only because they swipped up some of the best, negative marks for them not having time (or whatever) to make some of thier own stuff   

and many more (kitty, giz, meesiah, navi, aroche, A67 and so on )
