For those of you who followed along with community skin 2(Halloween) by this time you are pretty familiar the project!For those of you who did not,check it out here is the linkWWW Link.Well it is getting close to Halloween now as I posted there would be a surprise funny enough NOBODY asked me about!
Here it is, there will be a free Master Skin!!!
(or something of equal value from Wincustomize store)
This is generously donated by Alternate Setting!!!
The treat is a nice one as mentioned above the trick is to receive it you must correctly capture the images that make up a word.All the images are in the WindowBlind itself.The word is the root for a commonly used Halloween word (term).

The rules:
#1 You must capture the images and assemble them to form the word.
#2 You must then email it to me at the address below.
(*email subject=community contest,*email must contain the word typed out and your Wincutomize user name!!!)

The requirements:
#1 You must be a Wincustomize member before release date of the Windowblind.
#2 In your Wincustomize profile it must state your country of origin.
(this is important to determine time zone)
#3 The email address you send from must be your registered address on your home page here
at Wincustomize.(this is to verify identity )

NOTE: IF YOU NEED TO ENTER AN EMAIL ADDRESS HERE AT WINCUSTOMIZE OR UNCHECK HIDE MY EMAIL PLEASE DO SO BEFORE ENTERING SUBMISSION!WE NEED THESE THINGS FOR VERIFICATION , TO RECOGNIZE SUBMISSION!

How the winner is chosen:
#1 Simple first correct answer

SEND TO [email protected]

Additionally a short "HOW TO" for screen capture for anyone not sure how .

#1 Get the image you want on the screen
#2 Press the "print screen(Prt Sc)" button

#3 open your paint program everybody has it. ..All programs/accessories/paint
#4 Select EDIT then Paste

#5 Use the SELECT tool

#6 Select the area you wish to capture

#7 Select EDIT/CUT

#8 Select EDIT/SELECT ALL

#9 Select EDIT/CLEAR SELECTION

#10 Select EDIT/PASTE

#11 Select FILE/SAVE AS

(and give it a name)
Once you have done this with all images open them all with PAINT and COPY and PASTE them
in the correct order to form the word then SAVE AS give it a name.
THIS IS THE IMAGE YOU SEND TO ME!

The correct answer image has been uploaded and I will post the image after the contest as
well as a short paragraph explaining why this word was chosen!

So tell Alternate Setting thank you and all the artist that made this possible!


NOTE:I have tried to cover everything if I missed anything I will post an amendment!This is

I've downloaded the WB and all the extra's, having only one problem, I don't seem to have the wall. I've checked the WB folder but I don't see it in there. A little help please so I don't feel left out.  

EDIT: Never mind, went to the WB page and got my answer.

I'm wondering how different the skin looks on different operating systems? I have Vista Ultimate and my hubby has XP Pro. Let me tell you, I do not have what he sees on his screen. Major Differences!!!

This is an XP skin, you wont see the places being referred to in Vista.

Blame Vista, it's the culprit   

Vista skins have a badge saying their designed for Vista.
