Your Favorite skins?

from WinCustomize Forums
When I started skinning this year, I had never touched a paintprogram before. Now I have made several skins and I feel like I'm just getting started - there's still so much to learn.

I would like to say that the reason I started was some very cool and inspiring skins made by some very talented people. Here are the (main) reasons: ( They are still my favorites )

Hellfire by Hippy
Universe Metal by Pixtudio
Avenger by MikeB314
Meltdown by Hippy
Prometheus Black by Hippy
Beacon by MikeB314
Spectre by MikeB314
LightBlue by Alexandrie

Me too, but some seem to come back to my system all the time. You know - some skins you really like and use for a while, - but then you never use them again. Thats not the case for the ones above.
Star Control: Origins

Hellfire by Hippy


I agree of Hellfire. Hellboy & Hellfire WB skin looks great together.

I'm in between words - WB & Visual Styles.

Toon-XP is my most fav.

Sanrio - Visual Styles. Does this count too?

I have also used visual styles before, but I've been in love with WB since Alexandrie's LightBlue. That was the skin that made me a WB-man.

WindowBlinds are   visual styles, not to be confused with msstyles.

Same here...I still love LightBlue even though it's several years old. It's what got me interested in WB.

Some of my favorites are Souluna and PlusMinus by Morphium.

I am surprised no one has mentioned Morphium or Dangeruss yet!!

What a difficult choice to make. IMO skins are fairly transient things - I get bored of my own quite quickly, which is why I keep making new ones!

Universe Metal, Avenger, PixOS/PixOffice, Colony and Diaspar are a few, but I'd be missing lots which I've used and loved. (Sorry if I missed you out! And yes - Russ made some great skins, now lost in the mists of time... We need a retrospective!)

Just a few that I keep on hand:

KTEK steel
Rubicon
Topax
G-Pod
Lithium
Blackcomb
Antares
Airlock
FauxS-Toon
Dojo
Devoir
Carillon
DogmaX
Blanco
PixOffice
Abracadabra
M13 Code Grey
A67

Lots of others, but these are some I keep coming back to.

I like to change skins often, so I'll try quite a few, but there's a core set that I'll probably always keep around.
