Hi! I was wondering if someone making any Easter skins, icons, cursors. I know the GUIOlympics is here. What about Easter?

I first discovered WindowBlinds and Wincustomize right before Easter last year, and this is one of the first skins I used:

From what I can tell, this is the only Easter skin here, and it's very cute...still, more Easter skins would be nice!

Also for the more religious type cursor I made this a while ago.

As for a WB, there is just not enough time with the GUI going on right now.

Keila, I used the Easter bunny cursor last year, and fell in love with it immediately 
...I'll be using it again as we get a little closer to Easter.
I'd somehow missed the other cursor set, though, so I've downloaded it now...thanks!

Passover, or Pesach, is one of the most important and elaborate of religious festivals in Judaism. Its celebration begins this year on April 6th, the evening of the 14th of Nisan (first month of the religious calendar, corresponding to March–April) and lasts seven days in Israel, eight days in the Diaspora (although Reform Jews observe a seven-day period). Numerous theories have been advanced in explanation of its original significance, which has become obscured by the association it later acquired with the Exodus. In pre-Mosaic times it may have been a spring festival only, but in its present observance as a celebration of deliverance from the yoke of Egypt, that significance has been practically forgotten. In the ceremonial evening meal (called the Seder), which is conducted on the first evening in Israel and by Reform Jews, and on the first and second evenings by all other observant Jews in the Diaspora, various special dishes symbolizing the hardships of the Israelites during their bondage in Egypt are served the narrative of the Exodus, the Haggadah, is recited and praise is given for the deliverance. Only unleavened bread (matzoth) may be eaten throughout the period of the festival, in memory of the fact that the Jews, hastening from Egypt, had no time to leaven their bread. Jewish law also requires that special sets of cooking utensils and dishes, uncontaminated by use during the rest of the year, be used throughout the festival.
Easter is one of the most important holidays in Christianity. It is the chief Christian feast, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus after his crucifixion. In the West, Easter is celebrated on the Sunday following the full moon next after the vernal equinox (This year on April 11th). The Orthodox Eastern Church calculates Easter somewhat differently, so that the Orthodox Easter usually comes several weeks after that of the West. Many dates of the Christian calendar are dependent on Easter. Holy Week is the week before Easter. Its chief days are named Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. In Christian life it is a week of devout observance, commemorating the Passion and Jesus’ death on the cross. The liturgies have special features and services, e.g., Tenebrae. In the Roman Catholic Church these rise to a climax with the vigil of the Resurrection on the evening of Holy Saturday. At this time the paschal candle is blessed with the hymn Exsultet, and Lent, with its fast, ends at midnight.
Part of the confusion may come from the fact that the two celebrations come at the same time (in the West), and that in many European languages even have the same name, usually some version of Pascha or Pesach, from the Hebrew for Passover.

Hmm..you've done your homework shameless..these are indeed the terms and differences in Judaism and Cristianity Passover...just clear out that for Israel it means the deliberation of their nation from Egyptians and their passing the Dead Sea, while for Christians means the passage from Death to Life through the ressurection of our Lord Saviour Jesus Christ...He bound Death and opened the paradise once again promishing us that death does not exist anymore and that the death of body is not permanent and that in his second coming body and soul will be united once more and forever to be judged and take their final place close to God or for ever apart of him.....The difference of the meaning is quite obvious......So Happy Easter to everyone....Death exists no more......
