Weekly Poll: Changing Skins

Monday, March 31, 2008 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News

If you're here, chances are it's because you're looking for some great new skin, icon set, gadget, wallpaper or app skin for your PC.  Every day, tens of thousands of people come here and download gigabytes of data in search of their latest skinning fix.

My question for you this week is, what specific element do you change the most frequently?  Is it your OS Skin?  Wallpaper?  Icons?  Or some application-specific skin like for ObjectDock or RightClick?

Results, like usual, next Monday.

This is a trick question, right?

First I start with a WP, find a WB that works with it and then I look for a IP to bring it all together. Then thing like OD and RC, well they have to match or at least fit well with the theme.

Like I said, this is a trick question.

Sorry double post, the forums went down just as I pressed the button.   

EDIT: Since it's more of a package deal when I change my desktop and probably for others, when not an "all of them" choice? I know, but it is Monday and we do like to have it our way.

That was kind of a tough question for me.  I change both the wallpaper and WB a lot but put down walls because I lumped in the dreams with it.

I do the same or I find a blind I would like to use then start there and hit WP then accessorize. But more often then not, I believe that most people come here to browse to see what is new and end up finding something to their liking and then start to create from that point. The real question should be what gallery do you visit primarily first. Or something like that.

When I am not traveling, I am looking at a computer from 8-12hrs per day... So I change the wblind, wall and icons, as the feeling dictates.

I must say that I can't change only one thing, it all has to match so if I change the wallpaper, then I need too change the wb too and vice versa it's like they go hand in hand.

It's a toss up between wallpaper & winamp.

I picked Windowblind because some fit with the icons and wall that were in place with the previous one.

But actually I'd have to say ObjectDock and Xion skins get changed the most frequently since those are the two things I work on creating the most.

I cannot vote on that because I usually only change for the holidays and then it is all of them.

I probably change my WB and my wallpaper equal amounts. I try to match them up, so if I change one, the other has to go too.
