From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands
Published on October 1, 2007 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

Ever wonder what the folks who keep the site running think about what's being submitted?  Every day, our team of volunteers sift through the sea of user-submitted content, flagging skins to be featured, assigning ratings and helping control the flow of skins, icons and more to the site.  These people have seen it all.  So, for those who've seen everything, what actually manages to impress them?  This month we bring back the Moderator's Pick feature from late last year.  Every month, we'll poll the site moderators for their single favorite skin from the past 30 days, and the results will be posted here.

Here's what the moderators particularly liked from September:


halloween for SoundPackager
XSKINX

"Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year.  Between the skins and gadgets my desktop was almost complete.  Now, with this sound package, I can have all the Windows sounds fit my mood.  It's great to see the community utilizing this new application for easily associating sounds to events. I give it two bloody thumbs up"
-Zubaz

Vienna 2 for LogonStudio
Morpheous416

"Its an eye catching colorful Logon."
-WOM

Arileen Full Suite
Quentin94

"Everything but the kitchen sink.  Not much else to say about it but WOW!"
-Hankers

The Daily Prophet DesktopX Widget
HeirOfSlytherin

"This is a sweet little date/dime Widget for DX that is a great addition to any theme.  Although it matches most of HeirofSlytherin's other work quite well, it's also an excellent stand-alone app that blends well into many desktop environments.  To run it, just toss the included font into your fonts directory, then open the exe!  No other functionality besites looking cool, but a great way to keep the date and time handy."
-CerebroJD

Vampothika for WindowBlinds
kittymalone

"A fine skin from an up and coming star on the skinningheaven!"
-Snowman

October for WindowBlinds
Night Train

"A high quality skin with an amazing autumnal colour scheme.  A refreshing change from all those blue skins..."
-FuzzyLogic

Vienna 2 - Spectrum for WindowBlinds
vStyler

"I'm not usually a fan of 'rainbow' or multicolored' skins... but John has pulled this off very well.  A great skin overall."
-Erk.

Poubel Tafiti v1.1 for DeskScapes
brenopoubel

"This is a great example of how a subtle .dream should be.  Well designed, and smooth animations make this one of my favorites."
-IslandDog

For the first time since I've been a community member and supporter of Stardock/WinCustomize... I am speechless! Seriously.

Wow.

All I can say, is what's been said already by the others... Thank you!! I am very much pleased that you enjoyed the work, not too mention putting the logon next to the great artwork from the others. But, I will also take just a second to say, Thank You for the inspiration of Vienna 2 and the photographer (unknown) that took the picture to begin with.
