More details, please!

vStyler/John....honestly..after all these years..you are the very first who ever listed me in these kind of tread .

Now let me list mine.. There actually a lot to list but...condense version should be...
WindowBlinds : many but some most noticeable Treetog, vStyler, Adni18, JJYing
Winamp Classics : Steve Moss, kig (His SGdark skin still make my jaw drop till today ), and fyre.
Wallpapers : many..one most remembered : Misery.

WB - vStyler, MikeB314
Icons - D.Arnaez hands down
OD - I'm biased on this...
WP - MadFusion15, Keyser Soze, Manicho
Xion - SLOB
RC - Fairyy~
RY - Lovely62
CursorXP - J.Aroche, Tycus, Artur Berk
DX Themes - Gef

There are others but these are my tops.

Manicho has a personal page here? give a link please

I like everyone's skins. But with windowblinds I still prefer the ' less' bells and whistles. While I enjoy downloading and driving as many wb's as I can, my favourites are the ones I can use 24 hours a day. Which are usually plainer blinds without much color.
MikeB, Apocalypse_67,Z71,Essorant, Brewman are my usual picks for daily blinds. Then for the more " Girly stuff " I like Jazzmjr and Boopish. And the new stuff I use off an on daily.
My favourite Icons were Shades by sleeping dragon..I still use them..but have since started using Cycoced's and skinnits.

Buzzh58 for DX Themes, Walls and RightClick menu's which he is top notch at..

Widgets - just about everyone that makes a widgets...but of course tiggz and martin that made it possible for the rest of us to make widgets.

Walls - thats hard cos I prefer mostly walls that are 'real' and im not fond of abstracts ( although Richard Mohler has changed my mind quite often lately on
abstracts )
So walls - buzzh58, kenwas, phoon, tippytoenail, TeddybearCholla, adni18,and on an on an on..
Favorite Screen Shots - anyone that puts in the extra effort to share ' stuff' that might have been forgotten.

What I mean is that it is hard to say which is a favourite because everyone here is great

Whoops, read the post again and it says favorite author here...my walls are not from here. I get em from DA. Thanks Q.

I like everyone here... If it was not for everyone , no download sections would be complete. The community here is what makes me like all the skin authors of WinCustomize as a whole. Nice friendly people with great pieces of skinning art to share

me too, i love his stuff and he is a good guy too

Hey, thanks for the nod Quentin....I agree with your list (with the addition of Quentin94, of course)


I'm really only into DX so I couldn't begin to pick faves from the other categories. I think all my DX faves have been listed here already; the legends, the innovators, & the trailblazers.

Some unique DXers: SirSmiley, RabidRobot, CerebroJD, XX, among many others.

thanks again sVis i like your stuff too

Tippytoenail, TeddybearCholla,Jazzmjr,Boopish,47Songs,Starone and of course all things Fairyy~lol we ladies have to stick together!But I have to give the guys their propers!!!Quentin94,RomanDA,Po'-the icon master ,MikeB,Kol,Vstyler,All amaze me.....

My favorite artists list is quite long. So I thought I would list the artists that have inspired me the most.
Tiggz: The very first skin I downloaded from WC was Rubicon, three and half years later it is still one of the best skins. Tiggz's Rubicon was the inspiration for the SummerBreeze theme I made then eventually the SummerBreeze Screen Saver.
Elvee: He answered all of my questions and was very helpful when I first started making themes for ThemeManager. Elvee was the first to show me that the best will take time to help.
adni18: His kind comments and suggestions are always encourging to me.
Hippy: He was the first artist to give me permission to use his work.
Hippy's Ralliart WindowBlinds skin was the inspiration for the RedRacer skins and screen saver.
SK Orginals: I met SK thru the IRC. His Chameleon SysMetrix skins were the main reason I started to make SysMetrix skins. He was always there to answer any question. He even sent some graphics to help me. SK Originals is a true skinner.

Others...just because I love their work:
WindowBlinds: MikeB314, I R Brainiac
Icons: D. Arnaez, Mormegil
Everything DX: Quentin94
Cursors: JJ Ying
Logons and Bootscreens: Apocalypse_67

no bootskin list could be complete without Hog56...  

many favourites here...and a few to investigate...

So many to mention
but my personal favorites:
WB-JJ.Ying, Brewman, Zero.....
Icons/OD- Cycoced, Yangee, Jairo Boudewyn, Maxdison....
CursorXP- TYCUS, Tiggz....
and so on....so on.....
