JUDGING CRITERIA

To help the skin developers make the most of their work, here are a few things that the judges will be looking for:
Accuracy - How well does the skin integrate with iR Shell ? Does the color.def file fit ? (this is a must !)
Creativity - How unique is the theme ?
Details - How has the developer designed the fine details of the skin ? What defines the USB section, and differentiates itself from the Wifi section ?
Style - How well do the colors, icons, details, menus, etc. blend together in the theme of the skin ?

Judging the skins will not be limited to the above list. These are just some of the things the skin developer should keep in mind when creating the skin.

For the rules and so on please check out the announcement post here:

Thanks for posting news about this, StoneCut! Although I'm far from pro in graphics design, and haven't made any skins for iR Shell before, I will definitely check it out. If I should win, I will donate the money straight to the project. :)

I hope someone can improve on the Vista Clarity skin because that's my favorite but I just want it more UPDATED to look more like Windows Vista.

Thanks everyone. Hope you make some nice skins for iR Shell.

AhMan was so kind do let us hand out a third prize - another private beta forum invitation. I've updated the first post.

Since I can't code worth a rat's ass, I think I will try and make a skin. Not for the contest but just for the fun of it.
