I would really love to read a comment next to each skin in the winners list explaing with a few words why each of the judges it.

I think some people dont realize that you're supposed to say the skins you think are the most creative. If it has less usability, that doesn't make it less creative, that makes it less usable. That's why there are different categories.

>I wrote the previous post to fast and i realized that it doesn't make any sense. Sorry! Here is the correct one. "I would really love to read a comment next to each skin in the winners list giving explanation of why each of the judges decided to give it a prize."

features != creativity. that's what the power user category is for. that's why i made my choices purely from the aesthetic merits of the skin, not on the usability or extra features.

monzee, you're a BIT right, but if the authors of the skins have thought of extra features, they were creative. that's a fact! sure, there are many features which fit into the power user category, but in my eyes, these features are those which let you adjust the skins' way of working, but there are also features, that are just a kind of goodies which aren't useable in any way but are creative!

Enkera is easily the most creative winamp skin, followed by Machina and WooHoofer.

I totally agree with monzee! A lot of you are mixing up usability with creativity, those two categories have nothing in common. A lot of features does not make a skin more creative, that's a fact, foos! No picks from me, since one of my skins is in the contest.

oh, and a creative skin doesn't affect it's usability!

883, I tend to disagree.. Most people only look at the graphics for creativity, but what about the code? You're telling me code cannot be creative? Riiiiiight.. That's a good one.. I'd say creativity = details. A well thought out skin is by far more creative than a simple skin with a wicked shape.. Unfortunately, most joe users tend to disagree since they don't really have a clue about the development of a skin.. However, that doesn't neccesarily mean usability = creativity, but it could.. they are not opposites.

Can't we stop this stupid discussion about what is/isn't creative? It's up to the user to judge whatever the skin is creative or not and what you guys have a oppinion about - so be it! Don't help much to "kill" each other by words! All, untill now, 41 skins are very "creative" and could fit into this category! The judges could have specified "creative" and that would have stopped this writting about what's what and what's not what!

I actually think that's what they should've done in the first place.. Write a description next to each category to make it clear what each category means.. I, for example, didn't have a clue what they meant by "power user" before they described it when they started judging WB skins..

yeah, and i still don't get what the difference between most usable and power user is. Because if you improve functionality of a skin it also improves productivity. Tho, my skin ain't entered in those

A better description of all the categories would definitely help. I'd like to read somewhere what the judges are looking for in each category, most of us don't really know what the other 3 are supposed to mean and people don't even agree about most creative...

As me, myself and I - said the dog - + Anemovis, Plague and 883 had scribbled about, I'll think that the "Team" who put this event together will have this in mind next time! So for now! If you win - be happy If you win...not - be happy for those who did Most of all! You all done a great job!
