Completing WOM´s input... So far, there are only 5 Icon Packs that can realy be considered Vista ready in the competition: Yuuminco, Partikle, Nightlit3, Junior and Plastic Fantastic. (by order of date updload)
Cha, you was one of the good surprizes that I had in the last year and a half. You are a great working colegue, and extremely skilled and tallented 3d artist. You should have being promoted long time ago! APB, I have bein seeing you in the community for many years and never noticed that you didn´t have the Master title...to me, you are already a master for ages. Well deserved to both! :CONGRAT:
Sargan, First of all, I am sorry for the inconvenience. The start panel animation is having conflicts with XP, since the file is really huge, but we are working with the Windowblinds developer to fix it, I just spoke to Nakor that told me that he expect to have a new update for the XP skin by next week, so keep your eyes open. Happy Halloween! :)
Exceptional job, Mike, as you always do. :CONGRAT:
great idea and very well executed! :CONGRAT:
:CONGRAT: Mike! you deserve it :)
Franchie! I remember that email! Congrats, bloody mate :CONGRAT: PS: Yes I didn´t get that darn hair cut yet ;)
Way to go, Kris! Great 10th b day, but please give us a break on those bug reports ;p
Happy B Day, Angie! :CONGRAT:
This is a very sad news, the community will loose a lot, you are one of the most creative and prolific skinners ever, beside of being a great guy and a loyal friend. Please let me know if it is there anything that we can do to help. I am really really sorry.
Haptork, I was one of the first ones to become a professional skinner. I have made skinning my only profession since 2001, so here are a few advices... The first step is to get practice. The most free stuff you make for the community , the most you will learn what the users want. Also, a good point would be giving first to ask something later. I did over 300 skins before asking for something in return, but this is something that you should think of what would be a good number.
You can put my name in the blackboard. PS: mines was rejected too
ops! I forgot to include the name, sorry for that...it was created by ChaNinja!
Molten was done by the stunning Stardock Design author....and I agree with you, the animations are fabulous.

I for sure can understand Frogboy´s point of view. If you release 1000 files for free, then you are cool, but you are doing nothing more them your obbligation, but if, at some point after you give tons of them for free, you decide to charge some really minor bucks for something, then you are a greedy person that is just looking for the money. Wouldn´t that be the inverse way? Brad, you have done much more for the skins scenarium that all the people that complaints
VERY interesting article, as someone that follow Stardock steps during the last 8 years, is really pleasent to see that it is growing, but with its feet solid bonded to its roots. Well done, Brad and keep focus!
Wb skins today are very time consuming, I remember about an old skin of mine, "Unlighted", done back in 2001 I guess, I started the scretch at noon and at 8 PM it was uploaded here. Today I spend 2 days just for making toolbar icons and avi animations, for a complete skin, not less then 80 hours and I consider myself as a fast skinner. What is over 10 times more then it used to be.
I started to skin in November of 1999 and before making my first suite of skins for sale, in October of 2001 I realeased over 300 skins for more then 45 different applications for free. Even after I started to work as a professional graphic designer I realesed another 150+ free skins. Today I continue my carrier on a full time skinning job and every time that I open Photoshop to start a new skin I feel the same fun that I use to fell 7 years ago. So, WOM, since you mentioned my name, I am so
I was not around 10 years ago, I started to follow Stardock steps just in 1999, around 7+ years and it was a real pleasure to see company's development adventure. Congratulations to Brad, Angie, Kris and all the team! I am sure that Stardock is just taking off for a new "Galactic" edge.

JJ, you submited the best skins and your work was correctly judged, well done, you recieved the recognition you deserve.
Boy oh boy! it was a tough job! I felt myself been unfair, I had at least 6 excellent themes for "most usable" and I needed to chose just 3. No doubts that the next vottings will be even harder, since I guess that we have over 15 top of the top themes. Thank you Stardock for bring the oportunity for new authors to expose their excellent work
I am very impressed with the level of the Icon Pacaker themes that I am seeing this year, many different names with wonderful, well executed and creative ideas. My congratulations to you all and thanks for making my computer envoirement much more pleasing. PS: I am glad that I am not a judge.
I gave it a go and work quite well, gave me informations about what should I do before installling vista and after...nice one, thanks for the tip
Not just americans that will not forget, but the hole world. My deepest respects
