@ Threi I was thinking of my paycheck at work when I wrote the number. What I like about Stardock, they seem to believe in the freedom of speech. By the way, Mike, Treetog, and Queen Alexandrie the great have been my favorite skinners of all time. I judge hard those I love 'cause I know they deserve nothing than being the very best. They should always be in the land where the Sun never sleep. Sunset is acceptable though <img src="http://images.stardock.com/guichamps/sm

Stardock did not pay me for this commercial. The skins you won't see in the Gui Champs 20006 by one of the well known artists. You'll have to go to Stardock store to see what he can really do. One of the nice one is made for a bank though it's not fully skinned, but better than what he posted here. There's a great new one that could have won it all here, but it's in the store ofcourse. Still want to take home the gold. They are still talented, but their best skins are in a reserve p

With all due respect to ^^Gabriel for his contribution to the community, his first G-POD from the previous Gui Champs can be called original. He is loved by all. I really thought one of the skinners such as JJ Ying Vstyler, Dexter to name a few had a chance of winning the gold for most original and best overall. This could have been the greatest Gui Champs ever. We still have the best skins ever presented, but I don't think the skinners would come back and do it again with the same love, same q

It looks as if JJ Ying was in his happiest mood when making these skins. I must say for the record that I have an everlasting respect for the well known skinners. I have learned so much from them. Some of the greatest could have done better in this Gui, but they felt they would win anyway. The reason the Chinese won so much is only because they are mostly the only one who took the time to build those masterpieces IconPackagers. They only competed against each other. They did not win the

Based on the winning results it seems it's the skinners that are being judged, but not the skins. The well known skinners always win regardless. But some of the skins above are worth winning it. They had to sacrifice great skinners such as Dexter to give chance to some of the well known one. JJ Y, VS, S F <img src="http://images.stardock.com/guichamps/smiles/Congrats.gif"

^^Gabriel gain our repect for the ability of skinning and his superb gift of inspiration. Though G-Pod V2 is a next generation of his previous G-Pod, one can say the skin is original - Original style of ^^Gabriel. He deserve the golden appreciation for all his works to the community. Edisso WB by JJ Ying deserves nothing less than gold. We haven't seen anything like it until its released and is as well beautiful not forgotten usability. VECTRA RC2 by

I have been saying there are no loser in the Gui Champs 2006 Only because I feel that all the skinners have very high talent in creativity. What we have been offered by the skinners are simply premium quality. What do I have on the table? Take it or leave it The IconPackagers are so hard to make and take a lot of times. Each and everyone of them have enough icons that replaced most of windows XP Icon and may be used as well in VISTA. The

I just applied Acrylic by danilloOc, it feels real good - perfect feel Maybe the reason the judges decided the way they did was because it is more inspired by Vista. One thing remain the same is that danilloOc is a well respected skinner. All his free skins are premium quality flavors. Mike deserves nothing less than a master of skinning tittle. Lately, he seems to get better inspiration when wo

Ok! This is the sad part of the Gui Champs 2006 I knew it would come to this point some how. Though Azenis II appeared to be a black skin, it is indeed a very bright skin a doctor would describe to a whole family of all ages. It looks as if some people have been favored as well - The art of politic. Because They have a name or have an uncle, doesn't mean some great works must be sacrificed in their favor. By the way, I'm not here to complain about top three or fou

Well! As I said many time, any of the skins can easily be the winner. Many of the skins should have been up there as well. I'll repeat what I've said before, any three skins can be the top three without causing a war. As I have always said there are no loser in this GUI Champs 2006 All works were done by the greatest and latest masters of skinning. You all should be proud of your work 'cause skinning has never been any better. Congratulation to

Chinese skinners are taking skinning by force now. They even put some of the past greatest out of business. Did not see anything from them. We have seen great masterpieces from many part of the world. Looks like JJ Ying is going for multi gold Yangee, one of the top best, still have one more chance to win in the IP section. There were so many great entries, and anyone worth being a winner. There are simply no loser this time around. Congratulat

All the big names are up there except Treetog so far He said he was working on a WB when JJ Ying posted his Azenis 2 wallpaper. He even mentioned the wall would look nice with his skin. I guess he did not like the outcome of his windowblinds. We will still remember him as one of the pass time best. He has done greatness during his time. Hopefully we might see something from him in the next Gui. Well! The skinners are getting better and better aroung the clock now. It seems we're living

I have to admit that it's very hard to choose which three skin should make it to the top as it were for the IconPackagers. It would be easier to call all of them winners, but this is not what it is about. Three of the best have to make it. The good is there are different categories to win. I'm glad I'm not one of the judges. In this GUI Champs 2006 there's only winners. The qualities of the skins are that good, the past top winners of the past Gui Champs felt the could not compete anymore. It's

The Vista look is what we've been craving for. Since the beta's been swimming around, one barely see a premium skin being posted. Even most of the top skinners seem in love with the look and functionality of vista that they retire their skills of skinning. It's almost as if when you go Vista, you don't go back <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Congrats.g

Nothing has changed after so long - Still there's no love to share. I do not recolor skins NVIDIA Reactor is the ultimate and only the greatest Reactor WB ever made to TEASE people. 'Star Wars - The making of' was brought to life to show how much I can do without seeing the original one - Another TEASER from me. 'MS WMP 11 Ultimate Edition' is my last try at skiinning - A great way to leave the skinning scene.
