Member Spotlight: Vad M
WinCustomize Community Member
Thursday, July 24, 2008 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News
For this edition of WinCustomize Member Spotlight I wanted to focus on a member who does some truly incredible work with DesktopX. That member would be Journeyman Vad M. He has been a member of WinCustomize since August of 2004 and since then has contributed to several galleries including CursorFX, wallpapers, and logons, but what Vad M is most known for is his fantastic work with DesktopX.
Vad shows the power of DesktopX with widgets such as the SD SkinChecker and the SD Astrologer. Vad's gallery is full of skins with his own unique style which not only look good, but are functional as well.
Below is some of my favorite creations from Vad M, but visit his personal gallery here on WinCustomize to see all of his works.

Vad definitely deserves the spotlight. 
His ideas/widgets are great........he needs to hook up with a good skinner tho.......someone who can help him turn out a few variations on each piece.

Oh! Wow! So much attention for mine modest person! 
I'm confused and my cheeks became red... 
But I'm certainly happy! 
It was so long and so hard way... I lost nearly all in my country... (
However this is my way and I don't regret that have chosen it!
I found a lot of good friends here. As well I found very interesting employment. It doesn't bring me money but makes me happy every day.
DesktopX forever!

This is a Truth! Really Great Words!
From some time I don't like to draw. Several years I have worked on 3D Graphics and 3D Effects for Video. And now seems I have an allergy for this job...

I disagree Vad. Your graphics and finishing are of the highest quality. I am sure you could come up with fantastic graphics for the new design series.

It's about time he was featured.
He (as well as Martin, Tiggz, Cerebro, RomanDa) is the main reason I became interested in DesktopX.
I would also disagree on the graphics. All your widgets mesh well with one another, not to mention are clear and concise.
Keep up the great work!

His SD Desktop was one of the first things I found that turned me on to Stardock products. He has a great series going and I think as nice as it is to see skinners come up with different designs Vad sticking mainly with the SD theme is a good thing in itself because he is always finding something new to make to go with the theme.

Thank you, my Friends!
Sometimes it seems to me that my home is here and all of you are my big second family!
This is good because I never have so many positive emotions in a real life. However I have a good rest here (as well as my Soul and body) after a heaps of crap which surrounds me every day in my fool and sick country...
Thank you again. My heart with you!

Sorry if people misunderstood.....
I didn't mean it to seem I was attacking Vad's skinning skills. All his work fits very nicely together. It's just that I've seen several of his posts where he says he doesn't like to do the graphics part.
