Poll Results: Skin Changing

Ch-ch-ch-changes...

May 27, 2008 8:54:26 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

Last week, I asked how often you change skins on your PC.  Based on the responses, about 64% of you change skins once a week or more (though once a week seems to be the sweet spot overall). 

What makes you change a skin when you do?  Is it boredom, or does something new and shiny catch your eye?  What is the most recent skin you switched to on your PC?

I like to "try" most Windowblinds but only a few make me change my setup. Those I use for a week or so and then either I'll find something new or try some different combinations.

What is the most recent skin you switched to on your PC?
Currently using Sirach by APB and loving it. My Windowblind choice usually dictates a change to all my other "skinnables".

Its sometimes the boredom but most of the time it is something new I've spotted(most of the time its the new wallpaper I want to use) which prompts me for a change then I change everything to match the thing I've spotted. I am currently using chocolate WB by Patrick24 with substyle cherry in WB, A NFS carbon wall, Dragon Dx theme recolored and Meddle cursor.

I was a 'once a week' guy or even more for a long, long time. I downloaded Spectrum (Vienna2) by vStyler 8 months ago and believe it or not, it is still up. Oh, I do try out just about all the new skins as they come, but always revert back to Spectrum. It actually seems like my 'default' look now, haha. Thanx vStyler!

I've actually been using Lightstars Vendetta blind now for a week or so. Waiting to find all the right stuff to put with it for a good screenshot. Tiggz just put out a new wall though that has me looking for stuff for my next setup also.

I don't change much on count of learning 3D. But when I do I run through all that I have.I enjoy the work of others. I recently lost all my work on my comp so I envy the work of others . I like my Desktop x but not much out there.Maybe my next project!
