Hi
Dennis!
Greetings from Malaysia. I have been subscribed to your
Infopackets
Newsletter since May 2002, and I really enjoy your work!
I have a question though: What's the difference between GUI and skins?
Lim Chee A.
My Response:
GUI is a short-term word which means "Graphic User Interface". A skin is
an extension of the GUI which changes the GUI appearance.
If you're interested in changing the way that Windows looks, you might be
interested in checking out these web sites:

(lots of cool skins/addons)
And, as Jacquie B. writes:
For beginners in "skinning" there is also
http://www.deskmod.com an online
community of artists and general users of about 30,000 members. A very
helpful, and friendly site... and importantly very careful about artists
copyrights. http://www.deviantart.com
is also wonderful, with more members of an older age base. | | | | |
