skins/themes. Just like the rules of the first contests, all work must be new 
and original. No ports or re-coloring of past work or work by another artist.
I will  make the official announcement by 
the end of next week. In the mean time shift those ideas into high gear and open 
up those graphic programs. ;)]]></description> <pubDate>Mon, 22 Aug 2005 16:38:20 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.wincustomize.com/articles.aspx?aid=84275</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">32b262cd-e3ef-4749-929d-fdcaac39eea6</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So Fresh, So Clean....]]></title><link>http://www.wincustomize.com/articles.aspx?aid=83711</link> <description><![CDATA[ Today I was taking stock on the colognes (Eau De Toilette) that I'm running low on and need to replace. And I realized that I have over a dozen different colognes, 18 to be exact. They are:
-Dolce & Gabbana
-Pino Silvestre
-Contradiction
-Hugo
-Camera
-Burberry
-Eternity
-Perry Ellis 360
-Claiborne
-Nightflight
-Aramis Life
-Rush
-XS
-Boss No.6
-Cool Water
-CK One
-Portfolio
-Curve
No wonder I get a headache every morning trying to decide which one to wear.
How about the rest of you. Are you a one cologne/perfume person or do you have a stash like me? ]]></description> <pubDate>Mon, 15 Aug 2005 22:04:57 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.wincustomize.com/articles.aspx?aid=83711</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">439d674e-7b45-434e-8ead-165a1c8a4626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[WinCustomize Subscription Contest.]]></title><link>http://www.wincustomize.com/articles.aspx?aid=83286</link> <description><![CDATA[

      to the site and a WinCustomize website. In addition to this, you'll also 
      get SkinBrowser, two premium skin suites and exclusive WinCustomize 
      features. But most important, it helps support the site so we can continue 
      to share and promote our work.
      The Contest:
      The contestants may choose between 3 applications to skin,
      CursorXP, Logon 
      or BootSkin. The top 2 skins of each category 
      will win a subscription.

      - All skins submitted must be original new work of the contestant.

      on the file's description to indicate that the skin/theme is competing on 
      the contest.
      
      The Judges:
      The judges of this event will be the WinCustomize community members.
      1st, 2nd and 3rd place skins of each category with the highest download count by
      registered users will be the winners.
      KEEP IN MIND THAT REGISTERED USER DOWNLOADS ARE NOT THE SAME AS TOTAL DOWNLOADS
      
      
      NOTE: CONTEST IS OPEN ONLY

      Good luck to all the contestants and have fun

After browsing and reading some of the threads on the message boards about 
people that for one reason or another cannot afford
or don't have a way to purchase a WinCustomize Subscription, I came up with the idea 
to give away two subscription by way of a small skinning contest.
The Prize:
Two WinCustomize Subscription (one per category)
As you all know (and for those that don't know) as a WC subscriber your User 
Level is increased to 5 which gives the user unlimited file downloads
for an entire year. The user gains the ability to rate the skins uploaded to the 
site and a WinCustomize website. In addition to this, you'll also get
SkinBrowser, two premium skin suites and exclusive WinCustomize features. But 
most important, it helps support the site so we can continue to share
and promote our work.
The Contest:
The contestants can choose between a WindowBlinds Skin or an IconPack 

The Rules:
- One entree per contestant
- IconPack must have at least 75 icons
- WindowBlinds Skin must be fully skinned. ALL Luna images must be replaced. 
Toolbar Icons and Animation are optional.
- Skin/Icons must be original work. No ports or images from other skins or 
artists. No re-coloring of previous skins/icons
Violation of any of these rules will result in disqualification.
In order to conduct a fair contest, the winner 
will be determined by the highest downloads by registered users. And just to 
give each contestant a fair shot,
all skins and iconpacks will be uploaded on a chosen date. Here is where I will 
need the help of the admins since all these skins/icons will have to be 
moderated
almost at once. (I know they are gonna hate me for this :LOL: )
I would like to know what do you all think about 
this? 
Admins and staff, how difficult would this be?

I did a download test on my last suite (World Of Warcraft) and I noticed that not all the skins get downloaded and installed, even though' I selected the download links from the list Theme Manager displays.
The SysMetrix skin only installs the text but none of the images. BootSkin gets an error saying the file is not supported. The Rainlendar doesn???t get installed at all and WindowBlinds gets partially installed.
I did another test creating a suite with the local files (installing the skins directly from the PC) this time the Rainlendar was not installed and neither was the BootSkin and WinAmp.
I've also noticed that when creating a suite using the links from the site, Windows Media Player skins do not appear on the list.
I was under the impression that the problem might be on the site's coding due to the updates and new servers but after running the local test I see that the program might have a few glitches too.
I would appreciate any feedback on this issue.
Thanks
