Alexandrie - 10,000+
Friday, October 26, 2001 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Regardless of what one thinks of XP looking skins, Alexandrie has broken her own record with yesterday's stats of 10,320 downloads in a single day of her skins and it may go higher than that today.
Alexandrie has been in the skinning community creating wonderful and original skins for the past 2 years or so. Her favorite style is to make skins that could be OS skins. It's been for that reason Stardock has always asked her to make the official included WB skins.
The MaxWB (the default skin) skin in 2.0 was by Alexandrie and XP Platinum (the default in the upcoming WB 3.0) is also by her.
Skins that feel like they are an OS skin are generally quite popular. While many have made XP skin knock offs which were quite popular, until recently with skins like XP Wood (not made by Alexandrie) and XP Jeans, XP Nature, etc. people haven't tried taking the XP design into new directions.
Clearly this has paid off with such amazing stats. To the point that we're maxed out on bandwidth (which reminds me, please feel free to visit DeviantART, it's a great site with great people and lots of skins).
I wanted to create a new thread congratulating her on here past, present and future contributions to our ever growing community.
