The first WindowBlinds skins began being submitted to the library at the beginning of 1999. My first few skins were ports (with permission) of Kaleidoscope skins on the Mac (www.kaleidoscope.net).
It took 2 years for WindowBlinds to get up to that first 1,000 skins. And about a year and a half to get to the second thousand.
That comes out to be about 1.5 skins per day with the amount being somewhat higher in 2002 than in 2001 which goes to show that skinning is becoming much more mainstream.
For all those skinners out there who have spent their precious spare time creating skins/visual styles and shared them with the world, thank you. I've downloaded most of those 2000 skins and enjoyed pretty much all of them.
