How much do you really use skins?

How much do you really use skins?

To what level?

When I meet people who customize their computers, there seems to be a general..pathway they take.

At first, they change just their wallpapers.  Most people stay at the wallpaper level.  But some move on and want to change say their icons. And then others want to change their Start bar or title bars and such and learn about WindowBlinds and such.  And eventually they start getting into programs like DesktopX and widget enabling programs.

My question is, how much of this stuff do YOU use?

Me, I pretty much have it all going.  WindowBlinds is a must. My wallpaper is always changing.  Got various kinds of icons on my system. And I usually have a couple widgets going.  I also use RightClick which is skinned. And of course ObjectDock Plus.

Windowblinds
Object Dock + (haven't seen my taskbar since I installed it)
IconPacakger
Sysmetrix or Rainmeter - Depends on what new skins are out
Rightclick always running
IconX is always running
Enhanced Dialog is always running
Occasionalll I'll run some widgets, mostly weather. Love Will Rose's suite but since I installed DX3 the animated radar stopped working. If there was a widget that integrated with Outlook and didn't eat a lot of resources I'd probably use it too.

I started skinning with media players (Sonique and MPFree). I only change wallpapers when my WindowBlinds or WinStep themes change. And I always have QCD, Rainlender and WikMail running as well. There have been plenty of other skinnables along the way. Fun

I usually just use WindowBlinds unless I'm working on something.
