Looking For Skin/Skinner Of The Year Nominations
Closing out 2007 With a Bang
Tuesday, December 11, 2007 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
2007 is quickly drawing to a close, and wow what a year it's been! The new WinCustomize, Vista, Dreams, SoundPackager, Xion, WindowBlinds 6, the Charity Drive, the Alienware Contest, and more spectacular skins than you can shake a stick at!
Around this time of year, a lot of sites start doing their "Best XYZ of 2007!" lists, and I thought maybe we could get in on the fun with a few of our own lists to mark the best work of the past year.
Nominate your:
- Favorite Skinner
- Favorite Skin from Library X
In order to nominate someone for consideration, post a comment below with who/what and for which category. Nominate as many people/skins for as many categories as you like. If you're not comfortable posting publicly, you can PM me via the forums... BUT if you're going to PM me you have to do it in a very clear format. If you don't give me a nomination in this format, I will not count it.
- [Category] - [Skin Name] [link]
- [Category] - [Skin Name] [link]
- [Category] - [Skin Name] [link]
- [Category] - [Skin Name] [link]
Go ahead and nominate for any library you like. However, if a library gets less than five items nominated, I won't be running a poll for it.
You have to get your nomination in by end-of-day Wednesday, December 12th. We will start running polls over the weekend to determine the favorites, with the results posted before the new year.

Yep, way too many to adequately list.
Overall nominations for a general DesktopX Object/Widget/Gadget Skinner I'd say Vad_M & RomanDA.
My category picks are more specifically tools that I use almost daily
DX Gadgets - Thomassen's DesktopX Script Manual
DX Widgets - sViz's Desktop Script Helper
DX Objects - Skarn's Bits 1 & 2

One skin I forgot about is the Intrigue suite by SKOriginals....that was one excellent skin and another skinner worthy of skinner of the year! 
Pretty much a shoe in for these 2 guys in that department!

I realize you all put out free skins as well. But then we might as well go by the stats as phoon suggested and not bother with any of this at all.
It would be all too ' predictable'
Im hoping that is will be like the GUI Champs last year that was totally unpredictable in the end.
Plus , everyone here had made something that is one of my favorites..it makes it hard to really choose any one person or skin.

9 of my 12 WB's this year were free. fyi.
Vstyler:I understand.. just don't want it to look like all I make are pay skins.. not the case at all.
Z71:I hear ya, vStyler.
13 of my 14 skins, this year, were free, + 4 updated WBs.

Warreni, Thanks for the vote. I agree mileage may very for others. Although my design is my creation based on the movies, original design and fan art couldnot compete fairly. How can there be just one skinner of the year when you have so many categories that deal with specific tastes and style not to mention sub-categories such as movies, sports, computers ect.. I think it should be SkinnerS of the Year. But if i misunderstood the voting rules, never mind

Oh Yeah, I don't use Dreams because I'm still on XP, but is there anyone in here who use Dreams that hasn't gotten one from AzDude?
Just a thought of ALL of the major contributors of the community!

Through my ranting off all the distinguished names off the top of my head, the very first name I wanted to mention was missed.
To make matters worse, my connection to WC took a dump while I was trying to clear this up.
With that being said Mr WebGizmos, my answer is a resounding NO for a bust.
Instead I'd like to say that, as far as world class talent and being one of the greatest people I've ever (or never) met in my life, you my friend would get a full statue in the front of the building and you can skin it anyway you choose!
Folks give it up to a tremendously gifted man, a respected community leader, and a wonderful friend!
WebGiz, you can say that I saved the best for last!

HoS,
I understand your point, although I think if you removed the context of the HP films from your 'blinds, they still stand up well as art. And you're welcome.
Say, when should we expect your Goblet of Fire?

WB skinner is Night Train. Who else gives so much and asks so little? The quality of his work is excellent. He is a master skinner. He gives us these skins. Every skin he makes is unique. All are use able. Every skin is a work of art. All things considered he is #1.
DX themes is gef. The best that is and will ever be.
Widgets and Rainys goes to Lovely62. She doesn't show up here much anymore but her work speaks for itself.
Docks belong to WebGizmos. He has provided more in this area than anyone else. Quality and quantity.
In general I'd like to mention a few other people cause I love their work so much and they are "good people". jj ying sets a standard for excellence. vStyler ditto. Buzzh58 for some wonderful DX themes. Boss019 a long time favorite of mine. His walls rule.
People who make coming here fun: Cplair, AZDude, Fairyy, Jafo, Snidley Whiplash, kittymalone and many others.
The main thing is that ALL THE PEOPLE who contribute here deserve a good word. It can't be denied.
