Even though animated wallpapers are the "buzz" this week, that doesn't leave any other skins out in the freezing cold.  There have been some fantastic submissions in the last couple of weeks, and looking at some of the previews in the "work in progress" thread, there are some exciting skins coming up.

There were many submissions this week that is was very hard to choose some to feature, especially in the Windowblinds section.  So be sure to check the galleries because you don't want to miss out on some of the submissions from this past week.

Thanks again to all the skinners, your work is greatly appreciated!  See you next week.
