June Screenshot Contest Results
Wednesday, July 2, 2008 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Last month I decided to make the monthly screenshot thread a little bit more interesting by giving away a WinCustomize subscription to the person who posted, what I thought was, the best screenshot. The only particular rule I had in place was that I would only look at the user's first submitted screenshot in the thread, so folks who posted half a dozen or more only qualified with their first submission. Sadly there were some great screenshots I wanted to list off here that were 2nd or 3rd postings from a user, so they didn't qualify.
So after sorting through the thread, here are my six finalists...

Ooberman |

Overall, I tend to like clean and relatively simple GUIs, so that's what I found myself picking out as I sifted through the thread. Each of these screenshots show off skins, icons, gadgets and wallpapers in a way that doesn't confuse the eye or overload the viewer with too many little bits and bobs. And for me, a solid wallpaper pulls the whole thing together, so picking a great wallpaper to compliment the rest of the UI was a big bonus.
In the end, simplicity and appealing colors won out. The winner for the June Screenshot Contest is Ooberman with his citrus styled screenshot...
It's a very simple, clean screenshot that goes for the minimalist approach first and foremost. The colors make the screen easy to "read". Just about anyone walking by a monitor with that on the screen would surely stop a moment to check it out and ask how Ooberman did that. So for his effort, Ooberman gets a free 1 year WinCustomize subscription. Congrats!
