I have tried a couple of other types of themes other than WindowBlinds. The verdict? A good WindowBlinds skin beats the pants off of all the others!

I had never heard of these, and after checking them out, I see that you can DL a free trial for 30 days. I will definitely be trying them! Thanks for the tip.

I agree that his statements should have been worded more tactfully and politely; but I believe he has a point. Instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, maybe we "themers" ought to take note. And besides, I suspicion that a lot of the rude tone is due to the apparent fact that he is foreign. Also, judging from his profile, he's been around since '05: He's had to have seen a lot here in all of that time.

Another thing: usability. I have purchased more than one master skin, which, when applied will knock your socks off, but when it comes to using your machine, well, it's hard to because of chosen styles or colors. In the end, I use my computer for work purposes at least 8-10 hours per day. If I can't use my machine with the skin applied, it ain't worth the money.

As far as types of Master Skins, I would like to see more non-WindowBlinds, like IconPackages, Cursors, and DX stuff.

I'll go first (since I began the thread) [e digicons]:P[/e] Personally, I believe that if anyone is willing to put in the time to learn how to skin, and skin well; to develop his skill set to the point that his work stands apart; I think anyone who achieves the level of "Master" should be able to sell anything they want to, regardless of how flashy it is or isn't. WindowBlinds, for instance, take an INSANE amount of time to develop. Even a "simple" skin can be quite tim

What's In A Master Skin? in Community WinCustomize Forums

With some of the discussion that has transpired in recent months, I got to thinking; what makes a Master Skin a "Master Skin?" People have mentioned that certain "Master" skins are either well worth their purchase or "not up to par." I feel that if the community can jump in and give input about what they'd like to see in the Master Skin program, that it would help the masters out there to better deliver what the community wants. So let's hear it: What's in a master skin?
