I think that there can still be room for more 'XP' related submissions in the future....however they WILL need to be strikingly creative and original....something that grabs you and makes you go 'wow'. Perhaps, given the current plethora of XP related walls, artists will need to apply themselves even more dilligently to being exceptional or else suffer rejection.

Well, I got sort of side-tracked into LiteSTEP very early on, so most of my influences came from the whacky themers of the time...Thug Life was very influential...every man and his dog was doing LCD themes....and Shoggot got all hard and pointy with his Scathe stuff which went out of its way to NOT look like a typical Windows app. Doodle came along and and created some difinitive works...in all sorts of categories.... Treetog redefined 'clean quality'... I'll have to look through all

Anyway....bad luck...I'll be darned if I'm gonna type it again....
