I will echo what teddybearcholla said, each skinner will take a different look or approach of how the may make a particular skin.  What this means is the community gets to see how you can use the provided graphics and still be unique.  

That's why the more the merrier. C'mon DT...do your stuff!

Uvah, have a question on Rainlendar, which version do I need to run it?  I'm using v2.11 Lite and it's not looking right, Sat and Sun dates look like both over reqular, seeing a double image.  Question on SysMetrix, what do all the little buttons do or am I just supposed to press each one?  Oh, I'm on Windows 7.

This thread is moving fast and I'm behind.  Is there any skins needed that doesn't have someone doing it?

I'm home and ok, more info here.

You'll need version 0.21. I don't do the newer one because its such a pain in the rear. As for the buttons, I usually include six as standard, web browser, control panel, etc. There are also six that are for external programs like ASC, MalwareBytes, Photoshop and the like. The four next to where it says HTML are for the color charts included with the skin. The red one calls up Xion and the ones next to it are for the media player.

Winstep and Wallpack are up.

Okay Uvah, I have both 0.21. and the newest version and the dates for the weekend (Sat & Sun) running on the older versions looks the same.  I will do a SS and add it here.

Edit..  all gone now DT... dropbox included...  

cool , some days. you are working  very hard with all this community project organizing and we all appreciate it, just know could not be done without someone like you, gotta have a leader, nice work doing that.

I know "Christmas Holidays" is a bit ahead of itself and you asked for suggestions..."right?"

I do have a request... Since most of our designers are men and (from that comment...u got it... I AM WOMAN)

Over the past 10 or 15 years that I've spent so much $$$$ with Stardock, premium themes and even sponsored many of the best talents here.

I (being a WOMAN) was wondering why so many of the projects are always so "dark" in content, theme and design?  The world is full of color and things that make us feel good or even feel so sort of optimism...

For all or you wonderful and talented people... could you find it in your spirits to create something "light, airy and colorful"?

Some or WinCustomize's best & greatest designers are men. That does not mean you have to be "?????" to lighten the world with color.

U All - I do appreciate all of your "talents, imagination and spirits"!

JJ930 - I see you may be a fan of Tinker Bell, and/or her Fairy friends? If so: Me too! I shan't admit to my two Tinkerbell tattoos, though.

Have always wanted to make a Tink theme for myself (personal use) but it's so much work as to make it defeating for me, so I stick to smaller projects: Ie: Wallpapers.  But I agree on the color thing. Adore it. Vibrant bursts of robust color: Nature in a nutshell. I'd like to, someday, do a kind of fusion suite of two elements: Natural (rocks, stones, grasses, et al) and synthetic (brushed metals, concretes, steel, et al). I think it'd be an interesting, tactile, organic experience.
