Hello Ladies and Gentlemen
It has been awhile since the last Community Skinning Project.
To start off, all community skinners are eligible and encouraged to submit a WindowBlinds entry for a contest. Yes you read that correctly, a contest with the winner's WindowBlinds being used as the theme for the community project as the prize.
A few rules, only one entry per skinner and it must meet the established guidelines for uploading of a WindowBlinds. Since this is for a Community Project and we know the community still uses XP, Vista and now Windows 7 you know what we are looking for. The entries on a minimum will be skinned for Windows 7.
Volunteers are needed to judge the entries. One simple rule, if you volunteer to judge you can not submit a WB. You can however sign up to make themed skins. We need a minimum of five but no more than ten judges. I'm expecting a lot of entries.
When does the contest end, Friday the 18th of March. All entries for the contest will be uploaded to the WinCustomize WindowBlinds Gallery Library no earlier then Monday, 14 March (you really don't want to show your entry to the other skinners early now do you?) and no later than Friday, 18 March. All entries should include 'For Community Skinning Project' in it's description. Winner will be selected on Friday, 25 March.
Once a winning theme is selected community skinners will be able to sign up for skins they wish to make and get the graphics and start skinning.
What can you make a themed skin for you ask, if it has a WinCustomize Library you can make a skin for it.
Can there be multiple skins as in two or three Wallpapers or Logons, yes, but only one per skinner.
Can a skinner sign up to do several different skins, yes.
Only one rule for themed skins, they will use the theme graphics. The only exceptions will be for Screensavers, Dreams and Wallpapers. These will though have a tie in to the theme of the project.
Please leave a reply to this thread if you will be submitting an entry in the contest.
Ahhh, what are you waiting on, the contest starts............NOW!

That is an option that I didn't think about.
With two more judges needing to vote there could be a clear winner or a three way tie.
Could be John. No real reason to have a tie breaker if that happens. Everyone that entered is a winner in my book so if the votes come out in a tie then the tie(s) are the contest winners. Well, something to think about anyway.
I agree....no ties. There can be only one....
Spoken like a Highlander, if I say so muhsef!
Who's Muhsef?
Z71, no results have been given out, only the fact that some judges have not voted and that we had a tie.
Having had some input from the judges, there will be no tie.
Barring any unforeseen problems a new thread will be posted this weekend identifying the winner and opening up the community skinning project for skinning.
I want to take this time to thank all the skinners who participated and the judges who have not had an easy time making a selection.
My bad... it was just a typo and old eyes that didn't see it, Ross... honestly. My apology and regrets over any and all hurt feelings.
"My bad... it was just a typo and old eyes that didn't see it, Ross... honestly."
(Yes, Seth, I know I should just give it a rest, but it's in my face every day -- last week I was transcribing a report after the doctor was just dictating off of old reports that were generated by voice rec, and finally, I caught the drug error, where robot kept generating Cymbalta when the actual drug was Symbicort -- Cymbalta isn't dosed as 160/4.5 mg 2 puffs per day -- it takes an actual person who cares about the record to figure that one out.)
You should be flogged! Let the flogging begin! 1...2... 3... 4... 5... oh quit cryin ya baby!
Actually? Voice recognition wouldn't have mattered in that case as the re is no such drug as the one above "Cymbalta 160/4.5" although the puffs per day would be great as a room freshener.
And yes, I know you're just giving me shit... because you're evil. And hate science.
"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to...."
Can't get my goat, WG (and meh-eh-eh means "No!").
*doc thinks he's way too nice to some people.
Duh, my bad, I was thinking in 2's...so me feel stewpid 2
Nope...just some reciprocal shit... but we are highjacking a thread. Bad WC'ers that we are.
Gotta keep the thread alive SOME how until all the votes are in.
Ok...who's the slacker judge!
Yeah ... who's the slack ...... never mind. Hehe
Waiting on Zubaz and PCPrincess.
tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.......
Somebody wind up the metrodome.
Yes ... I know its 'metronome'.
what happens if the other 2 dont vote by tomorrow?
and even if the votes are cast again, and everyone votes the same way....it will still be a stalemate.......
Vamps, the way I understand it:
As for the two who haven't voted yet, if they don't vote by tomorrow they won't be voting. The deadline was clear to everyone involved, and it was posted....so...
Philly wants to post the results of the voting over the weekend due to that deadline ending midnite tomorrow...at least that's how I put it together.
If I'm wrong (and that won't be a first), I'm sure Philly will say something.
Vampothika if there was a tie then a new vote to decide the winner would only include the entries that were tied.
Doc, unfortunately you have it correct. PM's were sent with no replies so I'm taking it that like has interrupted their schedule. I will wait until tomorrow.
Now, two of the five judges, after more testing, ask if they could change their vote. I allowed this so there is not longer a tie. Well not unless the two remaining judges votes and cause a tie.
I'm sure that really cleared things up.
I have a headache.
That'll teach ya!
Nah, he won't learn a thing....
Use proper terminology. Obsevre.
I have a brain ache or a trainwreck.
The response: That'll learn ya. English lesson over.
