The 2014 Community Project
Great Community Effort!
Monday, March 10, 2014 by DrJBHL | Discussion: WinCustomize News
As you all know, Metall Tech (bleumart) was chosen as the skin to base all the app skinning efforts on, after Island Dog raised the idea of a Community Project.
Special thanks have to go to sydneysiders for that idea, her screen shots (used here) and for her well known vStyler “back to work, slacker!” whip. teddybearcholla was chosen (with her pom poms) as the Cholla Cheering Squad of 2014. Also, special thanks go to DaveBax for collecting all the links to the skins (below). You made my job a heck of a lot easier, so thanks!
The real credit goes to the skinners and Community for their incredible contributions using Denis’s graphics from his WindowBlind Metall Tech.
Great work, all!

Two things, DaveBax collected the list of skins done for the project not I and I believe there is a wallpaper being done by Matchbook, a Rainmeter by DT1 and an update to a Rainlendar by DT1, so folks the projects is not quite finished yet.

It all came together beautifully! Sorry I wasn't able to contribute this time around!

You contribute by being active with all your knowledge. I'm a much better skinner because of you. Stop spending so much time playing on the water.

This ones been fun folks and it isn't even finished. I'm considering doing an update on my smx, may take awhile though as I got one in the works right now. Reason being the buttons, I suck at buttons. Anyway...I'm thinking of making them more intuitive. This way people won't have to guess which one does which.

You know, Life Savers taste better. Hell, even Jolly Ranchers are better than buttons.

Congratulations to everyone, in my life I saw a lot of teamwork and I must admit that, the team that is working on this project of an exceptional quality.
I really love to see you work with a lot of determination and mutual pleasure.

Pinning of this thread will at least let the newest members to the community know that in fact we do projects as a community and consider getting involved. Just saying.

That's sorta what I was thinking too, John. GMTA, huh?
