The Next Skinning contest..
What should it be? Tell us..
Thursday, May 26, 2005 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
We have some ideas on what the next skinning contest should be. We want to make it only cover ONE program rather than multiple (gets too hard to manage).
Here are some thoughts:
1) WindowBlinds skinning contest.
2) DesktopX related contest - Best Themes, Best Widgets, Best Animated objects
3) Media Player contest
4) Icon contest
5) Wallpaper contest
6) Screenshot contest
7) Best Suite contest (Visual Style + Wallpaper + Icon Package + Desktop widgets/gadgets put together into a single theme)
8) Other.
Let us know by commenting here.

Yes, I'd vote for a best widget contest, maybe to try to go a bit beyong the weather widgets, clocks, calendars and system meters.

My vote is for DX too. Lots of possibilities for great new stuff DX related to come out of this...

DesktopX THEME for certain. Maybe that will motivate me to blow the dust off my DX skills.

Why not a best Suite contest? That would include DesktopX plus give one a windowblinds skin and icons and a wall to use with the DX items. That would be by far my favorite option, although I do admit it would limit the contest to those sknners versed in skinning in all those various formats.

DX and Widgets are alright, but my main reason for having Object Desktop is Window Blinds. I have bunches of widgets, very few DX themes or objects, there a pain in the , well you know. I vote either WB or suites, not all that crazy about the latter either. I know all you guys are wanting to show of you're DX stuff, but Like I said, I've got at least 50 or more, and it's either a calender or a clock. Couple other things, but basicly clocks and calenders.

I would say windowblinds or a suite. On the downside though is that a great suite could possibly have multiple members creating each different portion of it. So of course the prizes should be kept in mind in that decision. If it was up to me I would say Windowblinds only.
I have to agree that while a DesktopX theme contest may sound good, there would be few entires for the most part compared to Windowsblinds or a Suite contest. Not everyone can code or knows a willing coder to help them create one. I for one, don't really know anyone to help create a great one, although I cna do graphics like no one's business.
You can see where my vote lies.

I say definately a full suite. It would be the best.
One thing though, have the contest run longer because of all the work that would be required.

How would screenshots work unless everything on the screen was created by the same person?

WindowBlinds/Themes are my preference, it's the backbone of ObjectDesktop and WinCustomize!

I think a screenshot contest is a very cool idea...who care's who made the skins...a screenshot is about how good your desktop looks...would be cool to give all the people who take the time to show off all the artist's creations a chance in the spotlight too....
But I doubt that will actually happen...so, I'd have to go for Windowblinds...

Windowblinds/suites.
DesktopX is cool, but still not close to an every day use thing for me, unlike WB and IP.

I feel that a Windowblinds Suite is the best choice.We use it pretty much on a daily basis,and can use them in lots of different ways.Thanks for asking us.
