A new way to customize your desktop experience.
Before the ongoing "skinnable" programs (and custom shells)
wave, the only way to customize your windows desktop was by means
of colors, wallpapers and icons (Microsoft Plus themes).
Now you can change the appearance of your windows using a program
(WindowBlinds, eFX) which makes window borders and widgets "skinnable".
But a skin is much more than a set of images and substitution rules:
skinning helps you bring out your personality and place it on your
boring computer...
To date there are many skinnable applications around, the very
first being WinAmp (an MP3 music format player), and new customizable
applications are being developed day by day (Neoplanet Browser,
Euro Calculator and so on...).
So, like it or not, computer people is going to drop the "uniform"
and get really personal.
What to do:
- learn more about interface tweakers and skinnable apps
- check out my "\\WILD" series skins on this site
- visit the hugest skin archives on the 'net
