I am a Skin Junkie

Step 1. Admitting You Have A Problem

Sunday, March 22, 2009 by elvee | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

 

I recently had a hard drive failure. Good thing is I do regular backups...So anyway I am in the process of restoring from my backups. I just finished my Skins, Music and Pictures backup folders....and WHOA! I have more older skin backups(like before WC was Born) that I don't use that much.

So I guess I am a Skin Junkie.

How about you, how much of a junkie are you?

I'm a junkie, too.  I download a skin everyday, but I think I might be doing that to compensate for the fact that I can't go shopping anymore (economy being what it is).

I'm more of a skin-ning junkie.

Doesn't Snowman have an extensive collection of skins too?

Snowman has THE biggest collection of skins in the world (for an individual). I have often gone to him when I have lost things, and he usually comes through with the goods.

I don't think anyone can come close to Snowman as far as Skins go and I am willing to wager that if it has been skinned, He has it

I'm getting there

I've just come home from my daughters first birthday (it's 1:10 am - going to work in 4½ hours....), and can strike that item of the (long) list, of off-line stuff to be done with, in the weeks to come.

But I'll see if I can't squeeze in a couple mails, to the respective artists, tomorrow (Monday).

Probably... had an incident that took both of mine down to the bone once, so mine 'd be in the Medical Themes folder under body parts.

I have 27.2gigs on my Skins backup drive... but that also includes wallpapers, a large collection of misc icons and my Impulse archive backups.

With an average of 2 Mb for skin, you have about 10000 skins...impressive!

Quote from another thread:

The one thing I am most proud of though, is my skins collection; [The Skinventory], started in 1997 (Went on-line in October 1998). It is the largest (known) private skins collection in the world, with just over 55,500 skins and themes for 200+ different appliations.

Some of the older skins in years past were only a few hundred kb in size.

Snow's collection is very likely the biggest anywhere...private OR public...

Just for the record; one file = one skin, so 55,512 files = 55,512 skins/themes
