Trick or Treat (free master skin contest)

Wednesday, October 10, 2007 by theAVMAN | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

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
donated by a community member and is just a friendly contest and gesture so I will do my best to keep it all straight for everyone!

GOOD LUCK!

Congratulations to those who have cracked AVMAN's cunning puzzle. As soon as I get the names of the winners and all the details necessary to have the prizes registered to your respective accounts, you'll receive the prizes of your choice. At the moment we're still waiting for the final winner, so you have a little time to look around at the skins on offer.

Now because this is a Community effort, you are not limited to Premium Suites, you are welcome to choose from the Master Skins available in the WindowBlinds gallery. As long as each winner sticks to their respective $10.00 limit, that's fine, so you could even choose 2 of those, depending on the skins price. So the option is their to support your local skinners.

Finally, because vStyler and AVMAN have both now generously added to the total prize fund, we still have some to be won. So we're gonna have a bit of fun that will finish on Halloween. No puzzle this time, open to any existing Wincustomize member, you'll just need to bring your own imagination and then cross your fingers for the lucky dip.

We'll add more over the next day or 2. So keep your eyes out for a new thread.

Thanks to everyone who played along, see you in the new thread soon.
