This year so far we've added 11 new galleries to WinCustomize in an attempt to make sure we're keeping up with what's going on in the wider world of Windows Customization. Here's the full list for 2007 to date:
Now, some of these galleries have done well, others have not. Probably the two most successful on that list are Dream and Xion. Dreams skyrocketed in popularity with the release of Windows Vista, and in general have done very well even as the Vista hype started to die down. I really think Dreams are going to be one of our cornerstone galleries in the years to come as people get more into putting video and dynamic content on their desktop.
The other example of a successful gallery addition was Xion. It may be one of our fastest growing skin libraries on the site right now. Community reaction to the addition was fantastic, and in fact the app was added at the request of many skinners.
Obviously, the success of a gallery depends on how much the community REALLY wants it or is interested in it. So far this year, we've not had the best track record at anticipating demand. So now I'm calling out to the community. What's out there that you're skinning for that you feel would be a great addition to WinCustomize? Are we missing out on some skinning or computer graphics related area that just can't be ignored any longer? I want to hear from you!
Post your thoughts here with any relevant links so I can take a look.
