That's right, *Skinning is making a comeback, and how!

Please give it up for our new administrator, =AndrewDBarker. I'm sure his enthusiasm will take us far in our renewed endeavour to bring skinning to the masses.

At present, we're busy inducting new members and affiliates, and getting our act together in general. We hope to release new stuff soon, so keep an eye out. Thanks to everyone who's watching us!

More information:

Help us compile a list of useful tutorials and resources by providing us with links to them, or better still, creating your own tutorial or resource!

If you have a good idea for this group, an interesting project or contest, be sure to let us know.

Also, do check out the Skins & Themes Gallery's first edition of Skin Deep, a feature series showcasing great skins and icons!

How Do I Join?
Just send us a note with the subject 'sign me up' and make sure you watch us.
We'll reply you as soon as possible and add you to our member list.

What can I do?
Our first goal is to inform and educate others about skinning.
We want to release as many tutorials as possible about how to start skinning, i.e. what programs you need, how to create a design and how to start making a skin.
We're looking for starter guides for skins of applications you know about. Besides that, we'd love to receive and share tips, tricks and other resources, like open-source skins, code and more.

If you're making a tutorial, be sure to use our Tutorial Template.
We like to keep everything clean, tidy and in the same house-style.

What's in it for me?
From time to time we'll organize projects and contests (if we can come up with an interesting concept... again, ideas are very welcome).
The plan is to create big skin-packs containing skins for almost everything you can think of:
Windowblinds, Visual Styles, Icons, Media Player and browser skins, deviantSkins etc. In short, a skinner's wet dream... and you can get a piece of the action!
