I suck at skinning but i still think i deserve more than 2 stars if i skin every detail mb avs ALL cursors have a good color scheem....I admit this was one of my first skins and I used a program to start it with but i customized everything after that.....I could understand 3 stars but not 2 (i didnt post it for fear of laughs)

DarkTower, never admit that you suck at skinning.

I haven't yet.

I won't admit that I suck at skinning. I'll let the reviewers do that.

Better to suck at skinning that something else. Like drinking beer! Whoa! Stop the train! Remember, One man's junk is another mans treasure.
KEEP ON SUCKING!
Uh, I mean skinning.
YEAH, Thats the ticket!

Say, DarkTower, if you post the URL for your skin I promise I won't laugh... Especially since my first skin, which was completely skinned... everything including cursors and AVS, just got the same treatment. I also refuse to admit that I suck at skinning, although I will admit that the skin I'm working on right now, one for a baseball team that I don't even like, is much better than this one. Nevertheless, I would have expected this to get at least three stars. The guidelines on the NSDN site say that 2 stars is reserved for skins that do NOT have all the windows, etc. skinned. But who says these guys actually READ that stuff... The reviewer that did mine seems to be functionally illiterate if you read his comments.

Anyway, check it out: http://www.winamp.com/customize/deta...ponentId=23067

Hehe that's quite cool actually. Better than my first skin anyway. That got two stars as well, cause it sucks. Check it, and have a good laugh.

One star is kind of harsh on that skin, Dark Tower. I would have given it more than that. The first thing you need to do is make sure that all your buttons are visible. The buttons on the main window especially are hard to see. That's the "technical merit" aspect. As to artistic impression, I hope that comes with time... I'm finding that I'm coming up with better ideas for skins even after just having done a few... (Only the one is published right now, but I have more on the way... not giving up just yet...)

Well, pukkaboy, I wouldn't DL your skin, but that's just me... Your skin does make a good example of why I believe mine was worth more than 2 stars, though...

I might as well show you all my first
attempt- the idea was to make it so it was
inspired by "Piet Mondrian" the abstract
artist.



Ugh can you say obnoxious? Im so glad i
never posted it anywhere...

Are you serious you actually want that?

By the way people there is a skin called
Mondri amp (Search for it) on winamp.com
that does justice to the artist- please
download that if you like the artist. Wish
mine was as good as that one

Yeah it kicks ass in a "Modern art gone horribly wrong" sort of way

I didn't skin all the cursors because I
got FED UP with the bloody thing.
You have my full blessing to do it if you
want with the cursors- just E-mail me if
you are planning on publishing it anywhere...
