A skin that magically disappears? What a Concept.

Instead of starting a new thread, this seems like a good place to ask ..I can't find any updates on the WC Christmas Skinning Contest and the first WB Skin that was submitted..I believe it was a snowy/white blind with Evergreen trees in the top of the start panel..I remember downloading but cant find it..now I cant find it in the WB Gallery. Was it deleted or just being updated ?
Fairyy~

Gabriels skin was originally submitted as part of the contest but he removed it from contest because the blind wasnt really a holiday blind.
The one I'm looking for came out very early in the contest and I believe was all white with evergreen/christmas trees on the top of the start menu.
thanks for replying tho..

The Concept skin conflicted with an earlier work, by another author.
LightStar created a work called Concept 09-30-05
https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=5327&LibID=1
I noticed that when I installed the Concept skin, published yesterday
that it broke LightStars skin. Maybe the author of yesterdays skin
is fixing the problem?

Well, after we were accused of leaving it up to the end user to decided what to do with it, I pulled it. I mean, you just have to love the holidays, upload a Premium skin, for free no less, and what do people do, complain.
The main reason we gave it away, is because it "is" 14 months old.
The Concept suite has been a nightmare for the past 14 months, I should have saw this coming.
When I first started the windowblind, I wanted to experiment and try something new, BAM, crashed my system. After reinstalling, I started to work on the bootskin, BAM, crashed again.
And that was just the tip of the iceburg for the next full year. One of the main reasons we don't have a bootskin with it.
And yes, the skin is being renamed. Should be uploaded sometime today. When it will be available, is anyone guess.
I'm usually not this grumpy, but I'm just wondering, "What else can go wrong".

Initially I tried to draw your attention to a problem, that could have been fixed very simply.
There was no need to go down the path you chose to go down.
You started off by blaming the End User. I mean "My God!" How can I the End User, dare let
two skins of the same name get into my Windowblinds Directory? Umm.. I dunno? Seeing as there are so many
Different skins, in the Library, I thought this was an honest oversight, and sought to draw your
attention to it. End of story. I don't pretend to be a WB Author, and alot of the End Users here aren't either.
So how can they be expexted to sort out the problem? How can they fix the problem? This was simply
a bug and could have been sorted amicalbly. I am sorry you feel so, about the design process and birth
of your project.

It happens at least once, to everybody.
I don't remember blaming anyone.
I have no ill will toward you, CygnusXII. Was never about you. It was about me.
I deleted it, to keep people from downloading it, while I updated it.
It would have just been more people having a problem with it. It was the best thing to do.
Everything is cleared up now, "OK". LOL
Happy Holidays, everyone......
