WinCustomize Fun Halloween Contest 2014

WinCustomize Fun Halloween Contest 2014

It's been a while since we had a contest, and I thought it would be fun to put a quick one together for Halloween.  Halloween has always brought up some fun and unique skins, and people always seem to ask for new ones each year.  

See Halloween skins on WinCustomize.

This is just a quick, fun contest that is open to anyone and can be any skin, theme, wallpaper, etc. that is accepted on WinCustomize.  The only real requirement is it needs to have a Halloween theme to it.  The top 3 submissions will be voted on by WinCustomize admins/moderators based on the submissions creativity and quality.

Contest starts today, September 24th and will end on Monday, October 20th.  Winners will be announced once they have been determined.

Prizes:

Note: More prizes will most likely be added after I speak to a few people.

1st - 1 year Object Desktop subscription or renewal if already subscribed.

2nd - 1 year WinCustomize subscription, Choice of WindowBlinds, Deskscapes, Fences, ObjectDock, or CursorFX

3rd - Choice of WindowBlinds, Deskscapes, Fences, ObjectDock, or CursorFX

 

Requirements:

When submitting, add WC Halloween Contest 2014 in the top of the description.

Submissions must have a Halloween theme.

 

Rules:

WinCustomize moderation policies still apply

Submissions must be your own.  Any use of stock images or other images must have permissions included.

Multiple submissions are allowed, and encouraged! Remember though, quality over quantity.

I'm going for a revamp of the pumpkin I made. It looks too vanilla-y.  :P

My keyboard has many typing errors but, i hope i was able to create a better start theme now . I  do need to do normal skinning ( easy task)  and add some halloween stuff like raves or bats. ( perhaps on top of start menu ?.

Thats the result after few time  of skinning. This  uncommon  style is wanted. Perhaps i' ll decrease the contrast of right menu background:

Adjust you search area on the start-menu and get it off the frame.

Edit Startmenu and Taskbar/Start Menu/Bottom bar/Extra Settings.

bluedxca93...look at these links. They will give you an idea of what is meant by colors too bright and what constitutes scary.

Just an image i took with my mobile:

Orig is sharp on 1366x768 and 800x600. Interesting for this contest ??. If yes i could upscale it for higher res.

Hope its scary enough this time. Think about submitting  at least 1 wallpaper and two skins files on october the 12th. So 2 files for moderating + contest process. I don`t make more since quality matters and island dog and others can`t do too much moderating at the same time.
