where can I get skins from?

October 17, 2007 9:50:28 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
Hi,

I have directskin, which allows me to stick a skin on my windows application.

Is there anyplace to download free skins from? I can't find any resources on this website for that,

Thanks,
Mark

Directskin is for creating applications with a skin. Where did you get it?
Windowblinds is what you probably want. You can get a trial here and skins here

I believe you will need permission from any artist to package their skin with your app.  Especially if it is a commercial app.

Hi Zubaz,

The company I work for payed for the directskin library. We've already incorporated it into our desktop application, but I want to see what other skins are out there,

Thanks,
Mark

Sorry, no intention to offend if I did.  Just wanted to be clear.

Oh no offense taken - do you know though where I could get skins? Ours is pretty boring!

Thanks,

The skins on here (WinCustomize) are for use with WB, not commercial apps.  They are copyrighted, so you can't just use them.

I assume that your company is working on a particular branding?  Have they contacted Stardock Design to help with skin creation?  (stardockdesign @ Stardock dot com)

DirectSkin skins are not identical to WindowBlinds skins, btw, so you won't find a free library of skins for it.

Lots of good artist around here that could do what you need...probably fairly reasonable.
