Where's all the Icon skins?
Wake up!
Monday, December 24, 2007 by Buttermaker | Discussion: Icons
Hey everyone, I hate to be one of those people that complains, but for the past month (since Nov 24th), there as been no new IconPackager skins/themes. Is there a strike I am not aware of? I enjoy installing new themes on my Vista 64 but haven't been as of late. I would like to know where my money goes to pay for OD. If there is no new skins, then someone is getting rich

Yes, the Icon "skinners" (I didn't know you skinned icons) are on strike with the Writer's Guild in Hollywood, and are kicked back right now raking in millions from all that money SD is paying them for their contracts........

People make icon packages as a hobby, they do it for free. It takes a lot of hard work to produce a complete package, and many months.
No one gets rich making skins. They do it for the love of skinning and not for any renumeration. A little appreciation of their hard work and dedication would be nice

I guess appreciation doesn't fit some people. Apparently 744 (I think) free icon packages isn't good enough. Dammit, all you icon skinners (still puzzled over that- do you skin icons?), get to work! This strike had better end before SD brings in the scabs (hopefully none of you take this seriously).....

I had a hard time with just the WB button images. Good icons are 10 times harder to make in my opinion.

I'm just getting around to trying my first Xion skin. I tried icons one time....thought I might better start with something a bit easier. So Xion it is. I'm trying to learn GIMP...can't afford those "fancy" graphics proggies right now.

I tried GIMP but settled for Paint.NET + Plugins for my first skin. Photoshop requires more dedicated learning. I am taking a slow approach to learning Photoshop.

That's all I use. I cant afford the fancy ones either. Looking forward to the Xion you're making!
