First Great Skin

can you remember?

Published on April 13, 2006 By kenwas In Community

Can you remember the first skin that really blew you away and got you hooked on customization?

Mine was Thredz by Dangeruss and Thredz. That skin made it impossible to have vanilla Win ever again. When I look at it now, I am amazed at what a fine piece of work it was and still is!

How about you?

Farcusmarkus's OS-W icons first got me hooked. I adored the little kitty hanging out of the full recycle bin. http://farkus.wincustomize.com/

Then it was mormegil and his Corel tutorials that convinced me that MAYBE I could create some of these little babies of my own!! I have to credit Paul Boyer for his willingness to let the general public in on his world, and thus allowing the so called artist-wanna-be an outlet to express oneself.

Lets see...the first blind I had was I think was called " Mrs Gold "

For 6 months I refused to change to another blind cos this one came with 10 different color substyles and had a tranparency button.

I finnaly was forced by a friend that felt my obsession with mrs gold was not healthy...

I believe I settled on one of Brewmans blinds after that...

I've been addicted for quite a while, and I think it was Colony that snagged me, but Micron gold that I used for the longest time.

Mean machine...what a great skin! K tek, and NeOS as well. Strange feelings reloading these. So much has gone by, like a great bitter sweet trip down memory lane.

Three people got me hooked up and the skins came after that. My wife, clwoods, got me interested, starone is teaching me how to skin and skinalli (PluGGz) supplied the skin (Compromise) that I am still using. Richard Mohler is a great source of inspiration along with adni18.

I came to skinning via Litestep, because I saw a screenshot of a Litestep theme somewhere and just HAD to have it. After finding out what Litestep was, and installing it, I applied that theme, which was called "Rising Edges". I tweaked it for months and months and learned all about Litestep through doing that.

I think the first WB skin that really blew me away was Copperdeck, by the incomparable Treetog.

Yep, Copperdeck is certainly there in the all time classics group!

One of the first windowblinds that caught my eye and downloaded was ^^Gabriel's Glassteel https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=3387&LibID=1 . I loved the deep blue colors, and complemented with Chaninja's excellent SubZero icons https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=1019&LibID=2 it made for a most-welcome and refreshing change from Luna.
