I personally really liked KewK, by Erik Holmer. I thought he did an incredible job on that skin. I added some buttons to the skin, to make it more to my liking, but it was applied to my system for at least 3 weeks before I started on my own skin and started using that. Great work, Erik!!! :)

Definitly ThunderStorm which other than being a terrific skin has inspired a lot of other skins ...

That's not easy to pick just one! I have four i like very much - neOS, Sektor, Airlock and Cyrix WB - and i can't decide which one to pick so..... danilloOc has really done some good work, so i guess I put my money on Sektor, but I'll put all four on top. :)

I must say thanks to the two people before me. ;) unfortunately my tastes are rather odd in the skin areas, so I won't be making my opinion known. thanks for the support.

Antares - it's just the most inspiring WindowBlinds skin I've seen to date.

1. Vector Cell 2. Opulence 3. G-pod I'm in love with Vector Cell - it looks brilliant no matter what I'm doing. Opulence - I keep wanting to stroke the screen. Third choice - gah!! how can I choose? G-Pod - I'm more of a minimalist fan really but this one is the most usable effects-heavy skin I've ever seen. Special Mention - essorant for three colorful, clever and exciting completely different skins.

Ok . . . here are my thoughts. There were 4 authors that, IMO, put out the best skins for this competition. Surprisingly each of those 4 authors put out more than one skin that, again IMO, could win this event of the best overall Windowblinds skin. Everything by Treetog (Antares, Mini OS, Fly OS, Thunderstorm), Gabriel (FM, G-pod, Lithium OS), danilloOC (Cyrix WB, Sektor, neOS), and bOse (opulence & Vector-cell) was amazing. I hope that the best skin comes from one of these 12 skins. My order would be: Gold - neOS or Sektor Silver - G-pod or FM Bronze - Vector Cell or Antares Good luck to all!

My dollar goes to Sektor. Out of all the skins submitted, Sektor is the most original, yet functional skin. Antares is simply superb, but it suffers from TOO many features, Sektor has lots of animation and just the right amount of features, making it good for everyday use. Of all the skins submitted to this contest, Sektor was my favorite, and the one I've used on my system the longest. :)

If I may... There have been some really fantastic skins in ALL catagories. But if I had to pick a placement... (AND believe me, I'm grateful not to be one of the judges), my favs are as follows: 1) NeOS - danilloOC 2) Lithium - ^^Gabriel 3) Cardinal - Pixel Pirate But Honorable Mention for beauties like: Cromatic & Resolute, G-Pod (which was almost really TOO intense

1 Pixel8 2 Blanco as always from these 2 guys we have lean, clean and mean skins that look stunning, are fast and flawless and do not get in the way of work.
