The Unorthodox Skinpack is here!

Take an alternative approach to Windows

from JoeUser Forums

Popular skin designers Skinplant, creators of the “Hulk” and “Spider-Man” Skinpacks, have created a new Skinpack for those of you who want to personalize your PC. Unorthodox allows you to view your Windows environment in a whole new way! 

Check out the “Dissident”, “Anomaly”, and “Hi-Fidelity” and other skins that can give Windows XP the look of the PocketPC, TabletPC, or other radical designs. It's only $9.95 and it's well worth it and looks fantastic on your desktop.

Nice bunch of skins, however, over time, I've found that min/max/close buttons placed in unorthodox locations become a neausance once the initial novelty of a visually stunning skin wears off. I do like the visual aspects of those skins, but the buttons are what kills it for me. Having said that, I reiterate that these are excellent skins, well done

Yes indeed, a fine package. Grabbed it up right away.
However I tend to agree with Makintosh about the buttons.

I've always been a big fan of Mike Bryant's work, so I snapped these right up. And they look beautiful, well worth the investment. Like the others, however, I am partial to "traditional" buttons. I hate to crimp Skinplant's creativity, but I do hope they'll eventually include "orthodox" substyles.

great skins, guys! congrats on such creative work, mike, hippy, and voo. buttons in unorthodox locations? hmmm. i wonder if that is why the package is called "Unorthodox". to me, these skins are prime examples of what can be done in Windowblinds and Skinstudio by creative artists. i like 'em. i must admit i added compact subskins to a couple of them, tho. i hope nobody minds.

The wall in the PocketPC preview is called Bliss and is on this page: http://www.wstaylor.net/WinLH.htm

The wall in the Dissident preview is here, however I recolored it green and can't redistribute that: http://www.depthcore.com/v4/fullview.php?id=640

The wall in the Anomaly preview is here, and the wall in the TabletPC preview is just a recolored version of it. http://myweb.absa.co.za/errolla/pics/pantherblue.jpg

With the exception of High-Fidelity, the rest are just random wallpapers I had on my computer. Recoloring them and posting them would be a copyright violation. Hippy made the Hi-Fidelity wallpaper, so he can do whatever he wants with that.

Hi All,
I am really sorry to say; I am/was really disappointed with this purchase. In the previews the themes all looked great, but, I had expected there would be subskins for each with the min/max/close buttons on the right (Top) side (normal?). I guess I should have looked more closely, and even asked prior to purchasing them. Any chance of subskins? If not, Well, a donation to the Communtiy I guess.
Don't misunderstand, the themes are all Great! I just wish I could use them/one.

Some skins in this package aren't my favorite and I think could have used some more work. TabletPC however I like very much and it is a great skin. For anyone wanting to see the power of WB vs Msstyles I suggest getting his pack. It shows you the things that WB can do that Msstyles can't.

Great pack guys, very strange but that's what makes it special Haven't lived with each skin yet, using Anomaly for a while to see how it fits.

What does the little down point arrow on the top, far right side do? Nothing happens when I click once, when I click twice the app closes.

Thanks, werewolf. The down arrow opens the system menu, instead of a window icon.
