From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands
A little bit of this... a smidge of that....

So you've found a great icon set, but aren't sure what WindowBlinds skin, or ObjectDock background will go best with it.  Since you've gone to the trouble of skinning your PC in the first place, you probably want everything to match and look good together.  But sometimes it's tough to dig through the galleries and guess at what will go well with what.  Sometimes you just need a helping hand. 

Well, we have people in the community who have done a lot of the leg work for you.  Every day people are piecing together odd combinations of skins, gadgets, icons and more and submitting screenshots of the results to our Screenshots Gallery.  For those who piece a suite together from scratch, they also often provide links to all the elements so you're only a few steps away from a fully coordinated desktop suite.

Here are a few excellent examples of screenshots of cobbled together suites..

Now this is what customizing your desktop is all about!   

Congrats to these four and all the others that let us see what they are doing with their desktops.

Screen shots are still my favorite gallery to visit. Most of the members that make these shots put in a lot of effort finding just the right mix an match combos. Plus they dig up older skins that maybe long forgotten. Its a great way to find unusual icons , walls etc. And most are always willing to share the location to find anything you might want - if not, they send it to you if you ask.

Mucho thanks to Zoomba for creating this post to give props to the Shooters!  

Thanks to Stardock for making some of the most innovative software in the universe!

But, I have to say as I always do, none of this would exist without the Skinners! Those talented Artists and Designers who put in the relentless and long hours that brings us all of this world class quality! And then, they literally hand it to you in good faith!

You guys are remarkable!

I try to salute these fine people on every shot!

I'm surprised! Like Fairyy said I change my desktop so often that I forget what I'm doing! Thanks Zoomba for having it as one of the featured shots. All those shots are "what it's all about"
on Sep 22, 2007
LOL, thanks for your often messages, they're always welcome

I downloaded so many things that I have some problems to find new ideas... I'm missing some inspiration for my future shots... Maybe I will explore the sexy way or maybe I will start a revisiting of my favorite "older" skins...

This is a mayday shout : "Boxxi, create some crazy xion skins..."
