Just a little on the recoloring issue, the main reason Ares and a couple of other skins recolor so well is because they are one color + greyscale based, This bodes well for recoloring but limits you as far as the complexity of the design. That being said i think your correct, all the skins in the top 10 are worthy of being there and congrats to all.

The error is an unfortunate side effect of using larger all programs arrow images. You can adjust this setting in Skinstudio by adjusting the margins that point to it. Its probably a good idea at least for Premium suites that Stardock also provides a non-english substyle, I know its sorta a pain but it seems increasingly more non english users are getting into customizing and in turn also purchasing suites.
Yep night train is correct
Congrats on the honor SK

Good work, well worth it !
If i had a dollar every time i typed maxstykes.com or vstyker.. i'd be a rich man !
Looks to me pretty evenly distributed between the established and newer WB'ers.. even more so to newer skinners in IP section and walls, I think theres been enough controversy, as the Beatles so aptly said... Let it be.
Thanks guys, Id like to wish everyone congratulations on being nominated and best of luck to all, regardless of the outcome.. KEEP ON SKINNING!! I know i will.
Im also a huge fan of Rounder, Tell you what though, id HATE to be the judges on these sets of Icons, their all very good. Best of luck to everyone.
Ugly, Unimaginative
Congratulations to the winners.
In looking through the screenshots thread i have noticed a considerable number of people do not have font smoothing turned on on their PC. Thesedays some of the new fonts such as calibri, candara used in themes (including most of mine)are designed for use with font smoothing turned on, Turning it on will DRASTICALLY in my opinion improve useability and overall appearance of your screen. Its easily accessed by going into your Display Properties Appearance Tab
Gotta agree on the icons, best ive seen all in one place, kudos to those guys.
Very interesting, always wondered how to skin cursors in cursorxp. Gonna have to start making them for my themes now, at least with cursor XP you can animate. off topic, do u have font smoothing turned on on ur comp? your fonts seem sorta jaggy. Sorry, just the skinner in me
@ Pakistani , pretty simple my friend turn on font smoothing in Windows XP and the fonts will look fine, I used calibri which is designed for maximum useability and requires font smoothing turned on. If your having an all programs issue then you must have a non english system in which case i ALSO took the time to make a non-english substyle which has a link listed in my VECTRA thread. If you are on an english system perhaps your system isnt applying the wb installed fonts and u may need to self
Very Informative , love your cynical view on the performance ratings
Tried to vote but it doesnt seem to be recording the vote as it lets u vote over an over.
Well, im wasnt going for most useable Brad, i just wanted to clarify that the windows are indeed resizable. Im shooting for the Top, but thats just me, I cant exist any other way. Thank you for the nod though, i appreciate it.
Brad, U can resize any Vectra window by dragging from just below the flag I spent many an hour making sure that that was possible. Maybe i should have noted that in the description but if you want to push the boundaries and be creative within the genre sometimes sacrifices are abound

agreed.
btw Zoomba, forgot to mention you linked to the 512mb overclocked card, not the 256 mb card shown on prize page, has it been upgraded?
Personally, with it being a WB5 contest, i would have liked to have seen the Top skins have ALL areas of the theme skinned. This to me should be manditory to even enter the contest, let alone win it. Having said that, there are five judges and its their final word that counts and i respect that, Knowing that five judges votes tallied up on top of the user vote definately means thats these skins deserved to win according to category. Congratulations to the medal winners and KEEP
Your not crazy, i noticed it too
