Wow, that's a lot of downloads
Published on February 19, 2008 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

Have you ever wondered what exactly the most popular skin ever posted to WinCustomize is?  Well, turns out it's XP Professional III by adni18, last updated in July of 2007.  Right behind that is another adni18 skin, then a treetog skin from 2005, a gef DX theme from 2005 and so on.  It's actually very interesting to see what skins were the most popular and how they've stood the test of time.

We actually have a page that shows you exactly that:

Most Popular Skins of All Time

Here are the Top-10...

 

 

Skins from 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 and even 2002 (CopperdeckII Cursor by treetog).  It's really kind of amazing how items that old are still at the top of the list after all these years.

And for you number crunchers out there, if you just look at the top 5 on the list, they account for 3.3 TERRABYTES of downloads.

Nice list, although I am wondering how it is generated. There are for sure some skins missing looking at download counts alone. Or are there other criteria ? Don't want to get pricky here, just an informational question.

Popularity is a mixture of skin downloads, overall rating, and number of ratings (i.e. a skin that gets 1000 4/5 star ratings is considered more popular than a skin that just gets 2 or 3, even if the average is the same)
