Well with regards to WC subscriber skins I'd rate them like this:

1) Boulder is a good 4 out of 5 skin.

2) Rockstar isn't bad but not real usable. I'd say 3 out of 5.

3) Stardust is well done but just not my style. 3 out of 5.

4) RIP is okay but getting dated now but it's pretty usable.

The art talent on all of these is first rate, I think it's just a matter of direction. Here are some skins I (just speaking for myself) would like to see:

a) A modern version of Plastic something like (https://www.wincustomize.com/zoom.aspx?skinid=2260&libid=1) but with Vista styling withthe title bar buttons and such.

An iPhone-e like skin, basically something very shiney and metalic.

c) Something that makes the borders of windows look like paper or something like that.

Just my 2 cents.

Out of the offerings I put Stardust, WC Select & RIP at the top. However, I agree....the line-up so far has little in the way of "Daily Use" skins. I would like something more practical like Treetogs Mini-OS or Kol's Thallos. I imagine I'm like most subscribers, I rarely see my taskbar so I look for skins with well done menus, buttons and good title bars.

Burgundy (was that an ODNT subscriber skin?) is a good example of what I'd like to see as Subscriber skins.....
