Monday, January 26, 2004 by Hus | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
An excerpt from the January WinCustomize newsletter:
This is just GREAT! I can't wait to see it start! What a competition it's gonna be! The very best of luck to all the skinners!

| In March WinCustomize plans to help sponsor the GUI Olympics 2004. Two years ago the GUI Olympics was an inter-website skinning contest. The subject-matter was WindowBlinds 3. A lot has happened since then and skinning has grown even more popular. You can see the skins (visual styles) from the last GUI Olympics here. Some of the best, most original skins of all time were made during that period. The GUI Olympics already has 2 big sponsors lined up and is hoping to get even more. Even at this early stage we've got $10,000 in cash and prizes committed to it. The categories will be WindowBlinds, Icon packages, and one of the popular media players. The categories will range from most creative, most practical, minimalist, power user, and so forth. Stay tuned for more news, hopefully by the next WinCustomize Magazine we'll have more details. |

I can't wait to see the people that we haven't seen in months (or years) enter this. Does anybody remember a man called "Dangeruss". He had some fantastic skins. That's just one that is of the top of my head. There are so many good artist, it would be a long list.
And I have to agree with paul, also. It would be to easy to spot.
We have a ton of questions, that might not be answered until the end of the month, but I'm happy to see the bug still biting people. (skinning bug, that is).

I wonder how many are on a team? It is a different way of doing it.

As many people as you want can be on a team. No limits.

I guess I'll just be doing a player.
I dunno about 'icons', they are so rarely original, let alone creative. I hope it isn't open to jazzed up commercial icons ripped from programs (like the section here is...).

I am with Paul on this, the style of some authors is easily recognized, I would recognize a skin made by Essorant miles away from it.
