I wasn't sure what to skin next, since nobody making Windows 7 skin for WLM 2011. I decided to make one.

My 4th skin for the Skinning Contest 2011.

That only applies to skin designs.

I was thinking the very same thing when I first saw this thread. But then again, like Nagamasa said, that rule is written under 'skin designs'. This said, I do find it a bit strange that it would be allowed for real skins packages, but not for skin designs though. I wanted to ask Menthix about it before someone would make a 'problem' out of it, but I forgot... I hope there is a good reason for that rule, otherwise it might seem a bit unfair and random I guess.

Although we kind of unintentionally did allow OS skins to be developed if you are simply throwing in already existing wallpapers/windows resources it won't get you much points, at least not in my books.

When the rules were being drawn up I did say that OS type skins should not be allowed period simply because anyone can grab OS resources and throw them in a skin. But I guess they only listed the rule under the design contest.

So your saying this skin is useless for the contest? Then I might discontinue this skin, continue it after the contest. I rather start new skin thats good for the contest. 8-)

I wouldn't say its useless, its still a contender for usability but yeah would just need a little more work thats all, you need to give it a bit more variation from what I've seen from your entries so far they all use a very similar layout. Quality over quantity.
