The Unorthodox Skinpack is here!
Take an alternative approach to Windows
Thursday, December 9, 2004 by Cordelia | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Popular skin designers Skinplant, creators of the “Hulk” and “Spider-Man” Skinpacks, have created a new Skinpack for those of you who want to personalize your PC. Unorthodox allows you to view your Windows environment in a whole new way!
Check out the “Dissident”, “Anomaly”, and “Hi-Fidelity” and other skins that can give Windows XP the look of the PocketPC, TabletPC, or other radical designs. It's only $9.95 and it's well worth it and looks fantastic on your desktop.

Nice bunch of skins, however, over time, I've found that min/max/close buttons placed in unorthodox locations become a neausance once the initial novelty of a visually stunning skin wears off. I do like the visual aspects of those skins, but the buttons are what kills it for me. Having said that, I reiterate that these are excellent skins, well done

Yes indeed, a fine package. Grabbed it up right away.
However I tend to agree with Makintosh about the buttons.

I've always been a big fan of Mike Bryant's work, so I snapped these right up. And they look beautiful, well worth the investment. Like the others, however, I am partial to "traditional" buttons. I hate to crimp Skinplant's creativity, but I do hope they'll eventually include "orthodox" substyles.

great skins, guys! congrats on such creative work, mike, hippy, and voo. buttons in unorthodox locations? hmmm. i wonder if that is why the package is called "Unorthodox". to me, these skins are prime examples of what can be done in Windowblinds and Skinstudio by creative artists. i like 'em. i must admit i added compact subskins to a couple of them, tho. 
i hope nobody minds.

The wall in the PocketPC preview is called Bliss and is on this page: http://www.wstaylor.net/WinLH.htm
The wall in the Dissident preview is here, however I recolored it green and can't redistribute that: http://www.depthcore.com/v4/fullview.php?id=640
The wall in the Anomaly preview is here, and the wall in the TabletPC preview is just a recolored version of it. http://myweb.absa.co.za/errolla/pics/pantherblue.jpg

With the exception of High-Fidelity, the rest are just random wallpapers I had on my computer. Recoloring them and posting them would be a copyright violation. Hippy made the Hi-Fidelity wallpaper, so he can do whatever he wants with that.

Hi All,
I am really sorry to say; I am/was really disappointed with this purchase.
In the previews the themes all looked great, but, I had expected there would be subskins for each with the min/max/close buttons on the right (Top) side (normal?). I guess I should have looked more closely, and even asked prior to purchasing them. Any chance of subskins? If not, Well, a donation to the Communtiy I guess.
Don't misunderstand, the themes are all Great! I just wish I could use them/one.
