Shell stuff - backgrounds

from WinCustomize Forums
I'm just looking for opinions here.

I'm working on a skin, but I don't like the way the shell backgrounds (music, movies, etc) go with this skins. In fact, I've always found them somewhat distracting. I was wondering how many people here would consider a skin "incomplete" without them. (I'm not adding them to this skin either way, I was just curious as to what other people thought).

I still run some older skins that don't have them so it wouldn't bother me at all. In the advanced features in WB you can select a shellstyles to use from another skin so it really shouldn't be a big deal for anybody, just pick another skin's treatment if you have to have them...

Can't wait to see your new skin! New work from you is always a treat.

Yes, even animated effects get old quick.

If you really want to suppress them, you should replace them with solid colored images or something. Otherwise the default XP ones will appear and might look even more out of place.

Sylva I wouldnt consider a skin with out the shells incomplete, since the default shells will appear if you dont add yours. But its always nice to see a skin with all the features from the same theme.

Looking foward to see your work
