It was a very quiet release -- I stumbled upon it in the subscriber resources page the day it came out. It's a beautiful skin! It has garnered a few "oooohs" and "aaaahhs" as well as more than a few "where did you get that" from my friends. Great job Mike!

I like it allot. Very well done in my opinion (and I am not saying this because somone thinks I'm a fanboy). It has some cool details that if you look at, you will want to keep this theme up much longer than Holloween.

Animations, see-through windows... its just cool all around.

Erk.

msdanasue, I expirimented with adding some Halloween sounds to the titlebar buttons, but I found that anything more than short clicks or beeps becomes annoying after a while and makes the skin less usable.

Suppose it's too late to find the wallpaper?

twobadmice, I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but the wallpaper is included with the skin.

I would have to say a special skin for a subscriber should be of the same caliber as Xav73 (My Halloween skin suite)https://www.wincustomize.com/Preview.aspx?Source=Xav73/conv/MyHalloweensuite.jpg . With all the bells and whistles that it had. I think this is a nice skin but I wouldn't consider paying for it after seeing what Xav73 did for free. Im not putting it down as it is better than anything I could do but it falls short of being something special you get for subscribing to the site.

Thanks, Mike! Especially like the wall, looks like outside the window here in eastern Idaho! Munching the kids' candy and d/l-ing the suite now... [oh, yeah, as a carpenter, if I hang a door for someone, even friends, I get paid...usually. Just a 2-cents]

Double-Post Had to say, the "Wait" popup while loading, and the Shut-Down dialog-box, and the glass hover-effect on the Start Menu are all marks of the best. A keeper. 10/10 !!
