Frogboy Administrators Posted January 9, 2005 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2005 Over at WinCustomize.com I wrote an article going over the top skins of 2004: http://www.wincustomize.com/Articles.aspx?AID=60522 I would like to compile a brief (i.e. no more than 5 skins) of the top skins in .msstyles format. So what do you think were the 5 best new msstyles of 2004? Update: Here is a link to a poll on some of the skins we narrowed it down to: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=269627 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/269051-top-skins-of-2004/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

VenQWish Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 All I saw there were winamp, wmp or wb skins except for opulence I think. For me it's 1. Inspirat2 (2nd style ^^) 2. Infini8 (RC1) even though it's still beta) 3. Hilled 4. Souluna 5. Royalmod Well, this is just a personal preference of course :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/269051-top-skins-of-2004/#findComment-585263048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiveMasterT Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I've been using RoyalFour for a few months now, but before that it was olive verde and blackout.

Koolslacker Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I don't think I want to install any of this skin. I like skins in Longhorn Transformation pack Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/269051-top-skins-of-2004/#findComment-585263126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogboy Administrators Posted January 10, 2005 Author Administrators Share Posted January 10, 2005 The main thing is that the msstyle needs to be from 2004 (Olive Verde is from 2003 for instance) and it needs to be an original. So Royale and Inspiriat and Longhorn skins can't really be used. What original msstyles from 2004 would do you think were the best of 2004?

For WB I'd say Vector Cell, Thunderstorm, Cyrix, Opulence and Somatic.

Frogboy Administrators Posted January 10, 2005 Author Administrators Share Posted January 10, 2005 Looks like there's a definite consensus on Opus being one of the best ones.

vellox Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I can't beleive no one's mentioned Luna Element, and maybe that's due to fact that it is very similar to Luna, but I've been using it for over 3 months and don't think I'll be changing soon, so: 1. Luna Element 2. Prominence Pro 3. Sustenance 4. Storm 5. HmmXP Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/269051-top-skins-of-2004/#findComment-585265869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
