WinCustomize Community Skinning Project
Friday, January 21, 2011 by Philly0381 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen
It has been awhile since the last Community Skinning Project.
To start off, all community skinners are eligible and encouraged to submit a WindowBlinds entry for a contest. Yes you read that correctly, a contest with the winner's WindowBlinds being used as the theme for the community project as the prize.
A few rules, only one entry per skinner and it must meet the established guidelines for uploading of a WindowBlinds. Since this is for a Community Project and we know the community still uses XP, Vista and now Windows 7 you know what we are looking for. The entries on a minimum will be skinned for Windows 7.
Volunteers are needed to judge the entries. One simple rule, if you volunteer to judge you can not submit a WB. You can however sign up to make themed skins. We need a minimum of five but no more than ten judges. I'm expecting a lot of entries. 
When does the contest end, Friday the 18th of March. All entries for the contest will be uploaded to the WinCustomize WindowBlinds Gallery Library no earlier then Monday, 14 March (you really don't want to show your entry to the other skinners early now do you?) 
and no later than Friday, 18 March. All entries should include 'For Community Skinning Project' in it's description. Winner will be selected on Friday, 25 March.
Once a winning theme is selected community skinners will be able to sign up for skins they wish to make and get the graphics and start skinning.
What can you make a themed skin for you ask, if it has a WinCustomize Library you can make a skin for it.
Can there be multiple skins as in two or three Wallpapers or Logons, yes, but only one per skinner.
Can a skinner sign up to do several different skins, yes.
Only one rule for themed skins, they will use the theme graphics. The only exceptions will be for Screensavers, Dreams and Wallpapers. These will though have a tie in to the theme of the project.
Please leave a reply to this thread if you will be submitting an entry in the contest.
Ahhh, what are you waiting on, the contest starts............NOW!
UPDATE:
Skinners submitting a WindowBlinds Theme are: Vampothika, k10w3, Xiandi, CountryYokel, Z71
Judges: RedneckDude, gmc2, PCPrincess, navigatsio, WebGizmos, Zubaz, DrJBHL

Sorry about that DisturbedComputer. I assumed you had Rainlendar. I use the older version. 0.21. That one I know how to skin. The newer one I haven't delved into yet.

Okay so what it looks like so far is four volunteers for judging, three volunteers to do skins and so far only one skinner doing a theme for the contest. Does that look correct?

wont be much of a contest if im the only one doing a theme for the contest.......
i would love some competition, it gives me a reason to open my pencil case and shapen my faber castles...

with no one else showing any interest in this, there is no point for me to bother entering....sorry philly its a shame, but no one seems to be interested

Where is all the community spirit? There's got to be somebody out there. Don't give up yet Kitty, someone's bound to poke his or her head up. I hope.

It seems that the skinners for the blind may not be interested. Some of the rest of us are. We don't have to base it on a blind. Or what if someone picks an existing blind, with the skinner's consent, and we go from there?
Hey, come on guys, where is the community spirit we're known for here at WC?

OK - I was holding off entering because I'm intimidated competing against Kitty, but if the contest ends due to lack of support, I'll humiliate myself and put in an entry. I'm almost done with Curse of the Full Moon anyway, so I'm going to need to start a new project.

Honestly? I don't look at your skins and Vamps' at all the same way....I love each of your blinds on their own. You have distinctive styles, but so what? That's what makes this all wonderful. As for judging? I'd rather see it without that.
I'd love seeing two or more skinners given one theme and see where each goes with it. It's all good, and valid. 
(and no peeking, you two!).

Okay Doc, you have me wondering.
Reply #58 Monday, January 31, 2011 2:06 PM
I know -- it wouldn't be a contest without judging, and I'm way past the age where every game played is geared to be cooperative. Hopefully others will enter and it won't turn into the contest of the Master Apprentice skinner competing against the Master skinner - "my Schwinn bicycle is prettier than your Ferrari" 
BUT, the whole point of this is to have fun, so I'm IN!

If you have to compare? Compare download counts....
And that is exactly right.
