where can I get skins from?

Directskin is for creating applications with a skin. Where did you get it?
Windowblinds is what you probably want. You can get a trial here and skins here

I believe you will need permission from any artist to package their skin with your app.  Especially if it is a commercial app.

Hi Zubaz,

The company I work for payed for the directskin library. We've already incorporated it into our desktop application, but I want to see what other skins are out there,

Thanks,
Mark

Sorry, no intention to offend if I did.  Just wanted to be clear. 

Oh no offense taken - do you know though where I could get skins? Ours is pretty boring!

Thanks,
Mark

The skins on here (WinCustomize) are for use with WB, not commercial apps.  They are copyrighted, so you can't just use them.

I assume that your company is working on a particular branding?  Have they contacted Stardock Design to help with skin creation?  (stardockdesign @ Stardock dot com)

DirectSkin skins are not identical to WindowBlinds skins, btw, so you won't find a free library of skins for it.

The old Skin Studio used to furnish free peices of skins that you could assemble and customize. Anybody know where they are now ?

Lots of good artist around here that could do what you need...probably fairly reasonable.  

I have no skillz but am very cheap. . . . ask my wife.

no need to task, as I believe thats pretty much common knowledge

hehehe
