Skins - The graphical kind

[Sean]

What kind of skins do you run and on what programs?

With my fresh install of Windows I decided to go in a more graphically advanced direction. I'm using a new windows skin I've never used before, a really cool login that I've used in the past, and since I updated Firefox to the 1.5RC3 I can't use my favorite skin, Modern Pinball, so I found a new skin for that, plus a new skin for Winamp.


My point is, what kind of skins do you like running on your software that supports it, and what softwares do you skin?

Hmm...the only skin I use is the winamp skin Anime Shogo. That skin looks awesome, the entire thing is basically a mech with a unique design that has all the different buttons on the mech. It even comes with a picture showing where all the buttons are and after so much time, you basically know where everything is on the mech.

For Windows itself I use the CoolXP3 Skin (Black or Red) on the StyleXP program to make Windows more nice. I also changed the fonts to Palatino Linotype for the extra beauty of it all.

I've got the Noia 2.0 Extreme theme installed on Firefox, so that I won't get bored when I take a quick peek at the buttons.

I have the FausX-XP Amber icons installed for some extra color and contrast. Which I think is very improtant. You could say I'm a real customising freak. But I just want my PC to look nice!

And I want to find a really good skin for Winamp, but I can't find a good one. Basicly, all I want is some more Color Themes!

The Media Center visual style for XP is really hot. I love the glossy look to it as it gives off a really energetic feel compared to the dull original visual style. It doesn't take much to install and is adware-free.

I use WindowBlinds. i only have the trial version right now, so I can't edit as much or make my own skins but Deviantart.com has a lot of good skins for it. From what I've seen so far if you get a good skin you can make windows semi transparent, or roll up into their menu. Here is a screenshot of my current desktop: http://www.dmcs.us/mydesktop.jpg

notice at the bottom right thefinalfantasy.com site and up near te start menu at the to is google rolled up.
