I'm gonna update my Luna Element style to this contest :)

How many skins can a person submit, One or as many as we like?

I already made a OSX VGA Panther theme for WA2 , I could extend that for the contest although I might do something completely different.

This is indeed a motivation to create, not only for the prices, but for having your work shown and judged by many people. The pleasure of people admiring and using your work is worthless

It's nice to know that you think highly of the judges and users who'll be using your work. hehe :D Most people think it's priceless.

Hi Paris :D

You can send as many skins as you would like to, but we limit up to two skin packs from one designer that will be chosen among the finalist skin packs.

If you have any additional questions feel free to ask :)

:mrgreen:

[Kati Compton]

Oh, just hurry up and give it to juni so he can make some VGA skins! :P

[OSUKid7]

Oh, just hurry up and give it to juni so he can make some VGA skins! :PJust what I was thinking. :worried: :lol:

[juni]

I'm not sure I'll have time for it. Epocware ordered more skins for their HandyDay2005.
;)

[CESkins]

I concur...just go ahead and give the x50v to Juni so that we can get some VGA skins for PB sooner (rather than having to wait until the contest ends) ;) :D Seriously though...given the prize, I suspect the competition will be serious (hope to see some great skins). 8O

[amitregev]

I've already seen some great ideas so I'm sure there will be some great submissions :D

Hoping to see Juni's work too in the contest :)

Anyone else find it ironic that the contest graphic shows a (rather nicely-rendered) LOOX 7xx and the price is an Axim x50?

We were betting if someone will notice :lol: but I promise the winner will get a Dell and not a Loox :D (although I don't know which is better)

While I won't be creating a skin, I look forward to seeing what the winner comes up with. I'm using the latest PB and WBA (revised today and yesterday, respectively), and LOVE them. I used to wonder why people like skinnable apps so much, and now I know why. Thing is, the skinning features of both of these fine products are just a drop in the bucket to the real functionality they add to my 4700!
