First Great Skin

First Great Skin

can you remember?

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?

I forgot Shoggot completely, looked it up and then remembered the skin. Thanks Jafo, your memeory banks are working much better than mine! Of course, that is true of most folks these days!

Mine was "Drop Plus" by Renzo Riccio.
I so wanted to be able to make my own cursors after using it.

When it comes to Cursor Xp, Hand. With Windowblinds, I don't have a specific one, mainly all the skins created by Pixtudio/Treetog.

Without a doubt Sputnik grabbed me and has never let go. At the time I found Sputnik I was using kewlpAd, which had no Sputnik skin. I could not wait for someone to make one, so I did it myself. Since then any skinnable app I try for more than a week or two I will try to port Sputnik to it.

It wasn't a skin by itself, but the software that allowed me to alter it myself to my desire. And that was WindowBlinds 1. However, I used only the trial until version 3 because I was back then running old crappy Win9x which would crash all to often with WB. (And I was alot younger and didn't have a creditcard.)
I've used Shell apps before that, but it was really WB that tugged me deeper into it. But the skin I think of when I think back is CopperDeck.

Toxic did it for me, it was so ahead of its time of course along w/ Thredz and Dangeruss' ones. Take a look



Not bad for a skin made in 2000

Project Onyx by SkinArtistry and Zion by WB Skinner were the 2 skins that got me hooked!

One of the first skins that got me interested was Spruce by Dangeruss.

it was updated my Mike later on but I still think it's a classic skin!
