Dead wrong, I can assure you it isn't.. in fact, I wish folks knew how very little we make off these skins for the time invested, might think differently about it. I'm not complaining by any means, It's my choice to do this for a living, but fyi.. its less than part time Macdonalds work. I just keep at it in the hopes that that will improve soon.

agreed.

Settled then. Thank you for clearing that up.

The icons are Footure by MrSkope  lightened slightly and a about 5% medium blue added to match the theme.

For me is right that a skinner can choose in which site upload his work, especially if the site is of the skinner, john make this for living and it's right that promote hisself and try to maximize your profit, but i think that is not only a question of money but a way for promote his image trough more sites so more chances of work, is important that the people know your name....then this type of thread is not pubblicity, there is no link to any site and there is the possibility too that the skin don't appear because the author change his project....it's already success....uff it's hard explain my thoughts in english for me

I think the WIP threads are good for WC and the community. They generate interest in skinning and showcase some great talent, from both established skinners and up and coming "Masters-to-be". It's also a good way to get feedback from the end users(us) as to what they want or like in a WB. This also furthers the cause of customizing.

I don't see them as ads,more like a "Look what I made" kind of thing. If a WIP thread increases downloads or sales,it's all good. Either way it is encouragement to continue skinning,so we all win.

P.S. Great job on Krome, V

Thanks guys, comforting words, I tell you what, if it wasn't for those who have supported me these past years, I'd have been below water, as it is I've been able to keep mine and my family's above the water. Loyalty is not lost on me.

Thank you.

I have only one thing to say, John:

One day I hope to be half the artist you are

Simply stunning skin

The blind looks really good man.

Damn straight! And John, you will always have my support!

of whats comming and asking for our input sometimes

i have yet to see an over priced skin keep up the good work

This has been one of the biggest reasons why I've done WIP threads for my Windowblind skins. The help/advice of more experienced skinners is invaluable.

BTW- Great skin, John! Using it on both Vista and 7!

Italiano è tanto bello da quella inglese, mio amico ... è questa una bella lingua!

Excellent skin John!  I can almost see myself!

Thanks Doc 

Did you frighten yourself?

No ya silly goose...I said almost...thank some god!

Well, if I almost saw you, I'm sure I'd be frightened...   Oh, and you might want to see a doctor about those eyes...a goose looks nothing like a, wait, did you say...

GEESE!!!!

Pixel is workin on a nifty 3d animated Xion, should be ready sometime soon

I think the Munkeh also might be sneaking around in the shadows with a xion design too

The WB is awesome and deserve a top quality Xion. My matching xion is almost done.

Is there going to be a cursor to match?

You could use the Aero Metal Cursor...
