Skinning Christmas....

    As most of the skinners out there know, I am one of the luckiest skinners arrowed. In that I one of the few who get paid to skin. While it is not my full time job here at Stardock, It is something I get to do for special occasions.  And Low and behold, its one of those special occasions, Christmas. I have been given the task over the rest of this week, to make a Christmas Suite skins. And I thought it would be kind of cool to do a "making of" blog. So This is it.

    As it stands I was just given the task tonight, about 30 minutes ago. So I will be diving in to it 100% tomorrow morning first thing. Here is a quick list of what I am going to try and do, keeping in mind that I need to be done buy Friday. When I am leaving to go back to California to spend Thanksgiving with my wife.

Must Haves.....

1) Windowblinds
2) Icons
3) Wallpaper
4) DesktopX

Things I am going to try and get in.

5) CursorXP
6) ObjectDock.

Now the timer starts... We shall see what the results are buy the end of the week. I will post each days progress as I go. As well as some quick tips as to how I am doing the graphics.

Wish me luck, and stay tuned.
