Adni, I like your work. It's simple and clean, so much so that any of your skins could have easily been the default look for any OS including Windows.
But the fact is that i'm tired of seeing you endlessly, day in and day out, on the top spot in the most downloaded artist list. Not your fault, I'm sure, you don't choose to be there, you don't choose to be so popular. But it's annoying after a year or so to always see the same person's name up there.
Don't take it personnaly, like I said, I like your work a lot. I'd feel exactly the same way if it was anybody. Actually, I did. In the old Skinz.org days, in a lesser extent (cause not even closely obvious), I was annoyed that any new Dangeruss skin always grabbed the top spot for a while. Of course, there was no "top author" list there, and if there was I think he maybe would have grabbed the top position very often, but not permanently like you here.
Again, it's not personnal, Adni, I respect your person, I like your work, I'm just tired to see your name at the top of that list.
Hey, what about you change your nick for a while? That way we could see a different name there for a bit?

adni18 - As far as I know, in a small community of people, the members are like friends and the usally say "Congratulations!"
oh, all right then
i would have responded sooner, but to be fair a lot of the WB skins of yours (and nearly everyone else of late) just havent reached out and grabbed me.
feline *shrug*
i suspect this says far more about me than it does about the skinners.
i keep one eye on the new uploads, but it has been a while since i picked up a new WB skin to try.
feline is quite happy just watching the little fishes swim back and forward in my titlebar
your achievement is rightly impresive, it is just that i am feeling particuarly hard to impress at the moment, and dont tend to look up from the message board much either
give it another month or so, and homefully this phase will pass, and i will be back to downloading skins like a demon

(The folowing text is in red): I am wondering what kind of skins feline likes, except Alexandrie's Aquarium.
craeonics,
the thread is about downloads
Thank you Kevin, my friend!

Wait! Wait! I still haven't figured out what the 18 stands for. Are you 18-years-old? Is this your 18th personality? Are there 18 other adnis here? Is 18 your lucky number?

Hi GoodMorphing
It was just an e-mail account in Hotmail that didn't accept adni and wanted me to put some number in the end of adni, so I have chose 18 beacause I like it as number, that's the story of my nickname, not my age, no mystery, no hidden meanings

feline *so impressed i fall off my chair*
it isnt enough that adni18 has mastered skinning and getting downloads to a rather extream degree, he is also a 10th dan zen message poster!
on a slightly more helpful note, to get non zen red text use the string "/ me" followed by some words. remove the quotes and space for it to work
as for WB skins i really like, this machine is currently using:
Bleu by Alexandrie
devoir by essorant
XPCobalt by Alexandrie
feline *loves* per app skinning
it makes a change from all the animated fish on my home machine
one of the main factors in my choice of WB skins is the fact that i spend 90% of my working time using 4 terminal emulator windows (tera term) overlapping each other. they are black windows with no scroll bars. the upshot is i require WB skins with window borders that work very well for this. i have found this is very rare in skins i like, so i dont experiment that much with my main windows.
such is life

what tag did you use for blue? i tried an html font colour tag once, but that was simply stripped.

I put in some xxx so the code wouldn't work.
