All Grown Up
Published on February 14, 2008 By BX In WinCustomize News

On August 10, 2005, the first ever WC Community Skinning Contest started and was sponsored by Ama02, Fairyy~, BX (me), Bichur, Jafo and Apocalypse_67. It was such a marvelous experience which could never be forgotten.

I know Philly I'm just trying to make a joke. I'm bored. I've been messing with this damn MyColors thing all day. It won't accept my serial numbers and support didn't help me at all so I'll have to wait until Monday. I'm just a little anxious right now. Although there was 3 updates in SDC so that made me happy.

Hey ALMonty, I've been reading you other posts. I haven't done anything with MyColors, I'm going to wait for ObjectDesktop 2008 Ultimate to come out. From what I remember from Frogboy's release info MyColors is supposed to be in that. Hope I'm not wrong.  

2of3 I saw those two WB's also, what we don't know is when they were submitted.

Why no dream category? I thought I read from a mod in the Alienware contest that we'd have another shot in the wincustomize contest.

Well, as we move on to another day, we currently now have 2 Cursors, 1 ObjectDock and 1 WindowBlind entered in the community skinning contest.  

I know it's early in the contest and that there are several weeks to go. We are all looking forward to seeing entries from not only the established but also the new skinners in the community.  

Good luck to everyone uploading an entry.
