-Follow Vampys Tut & you'll be fine 4 the most part.

If I could find Vamps Tut.

this is the one i used for the very first skin.

Just to say something to the whole topic.
I used to love the time making a wb. simply because it dragged my mind off from other things.
But now im spending all of my time building a house from scratch, there is endless work to be done, then more work, the very few time that is left is dedicated to the family.
Would love to make another skin but it would mean to "steal" family time and that is most precious to me.
Not saying that my skins were super duper but it was fun aswell as sometimes frustrating to make but mostly fun.
Im not gonna start an argument about the price that comes along with a master skin, at some point i was eager to get that title myself but lost my interest pretty soon since it would give me personaly no benefits since i like the concept of sharing and if i want to make a living out of digital art i would go and make game assets or would "try" to make UI´s.

Still i know how much work goes into these "seemingly" small themes, must say i miss a lot of the old guys Pixelpirate JJ.Ying Xiandi just a few to name.
But i have respect for everyone that still releases content no matter if i've been in a digital fight with them before.
To make a full skin one has to push and color a shit ton of pixels to make things look good and that takes time sometimes even weeks.
I remember how i struggled to understand the margins and how to cut the startmenu into pieces.
If Vampothika, k10w3, navigatsio and DaveBax aswell as Dani did not help back in those days i prolly had givin up on my first try.
So if you are truly interested in how much struggle it can be just look at this thread https://forums.galciv2.com/405704/page/1/#replies.

So yeah thanks to all of the helpfull skinners here on Wincustomize.
Hope you get around with whatever you charge for your work. You guys Rock so does the Wincustomize community.

If i spelled stuff wrong so be it, still early and we do not have any coffee.

A 'how to' for SKS is IMO long overdo. Not to take anything away from Vamps, I love her work but an update to explain how to use SKS (on Win10) for newbies would be great. I sometimes surf through DA and there are WB skinners who upload there, I even have a few. Hard work yes but the payoff makes it worth it. Do stuff to encourage people. Maybe some kind of advertising blitz. 

Jim. Check Skype as I sent it to you there.

I sent him a PM with the same offer. Jim, let us know if you have what you want.

It's hard to remember to look at the PM status when it's hardly ever used. When you click on a thread/post it opens to the last comment so you don't even see the PM up top. Would be nice if they moved the PM link to near the last post so if you had a message you would see it as they are marked when one is there.

Hum, I PM all the time, ash AZ or gmc.

I understand Mike. Many people don't PM at all and some don't even know what it is so they never look to see if they have anything. No big deal was just saying.

I can remember a PM popup opening and staying open if you had a new message when you entered the forum, but now the popup closes very quickly and if you don't see it you may not even know you have a PM. Plus, what about people that don't use the forums hardly at all? Why aren't PM's on the home page of the site? 

I say: Bring back The Skinners Profile page, MORE fun for everyone !

PLUS, it's very informative both for the skinner/member (PM's etc) and the skinner/member could have his or hers personal touch and you could see status etc.

Wincustomize is actually one of the sites where it actually makes sense to have profile pages for members...

P L E A S E Consider this Stardock !!

YAY!!!

-Just saw the New badges on the side... HooHay! 

Profile pages sorta still exist for people who signed up for them when they were available.  We just do not have links to them anymore.

http://lightstar.wincustomize.com/ 

But, we do have plans in the distance future to create a new Stardock profile page and hope to bring back some of the content that was in the WinCustomize personal pages.

-Members that have profile remnants from "the old days" isn't much talking about since no new members know about them or go to them other than by happenstance.

-Every Active Skinner should have a profile page or at least the Masters who are selling skins & thereby contributing to the site economically.

There's also the need for said skinners to get exposure and for Masters means -Sales, which is good for the site's economy too. 

Even those that are not masters that upload contribute to the site, even if they are not monetarily reimbursed. 

That is done by me. I will put most updated Master skins to the front especially if they updated for Windows 10. That lets people know that a skin they purchased has been updated.

That has been pinned in the OS Customization forums for several years.

My bad. I did look in there but under Windowblinds. I didn't look under General.Something else ever comes up I will look in all places. 

BTW: I did get it to the people that asked for it but now this will be easier if needed again.

Thanks
