As much as I like fantasy themed games (I'm a bit fan of Warcraft III - never had a chance thouth to play WOW though), I just don't have the time to play them recently. But aparently this does not mean I cannot have that distinct atmosphere surrounding me while I work.

Apocalypse_67 seems to be on a "Total Warcraft Desktop" quest recently which I absolutely admire. He's created some true gems for the Warcraft fans:

I'm fairly sure we will be seing more of the themes from him soon enough so check out his library periodically [Link]. I certainly will keep an eye on it.

Looking for more stuff I've found there's plethora of other Warcraft goodies on Wincustomize. Whether you need a wall a DeskopX widget or an ObjectDock icon, you just need to check out this [Link]. I was unaware how much cool stuff people have created concerning my favorite Warcraft series.

Very nice skins. Check World of Warcraft WMP skin and this visual style also

All these skins are bulky and typicaly old patterned style which aren't impressing me at all. No offence

One cannot please evaryone all the time. It's hard enough to please most, for a short time.

It's fairly easy to smash a glossy gradient over a simplistic titlebar, or even just a solid color and we tend to see a constant flood of such skins. It's another thing to apply a fine pattern to a small titlebar and a thin frame in a way that it will not look like cut out of some photography (like some of those automoton generated Winamp skins), but rather look natural and real.

If you look on the Apocalypse skin you will notice that the titlebar and the obrders are still thin and very usable, which is not a case at all with a lot of branded skins.

I understand, that those skins may not catter to everyone's taste but I personally very much enjoy the detail and the fine grain textures on those thins.

Intensely ornamented? Maybe so...
Bulky? Not at all!

Aside from Neutron Nine's opinionated expression, I for one am a guy that doesn't see much on materials like this, I must say, I like it. The cursors are a plus. They're....DIFFERENT! Nicely done, and thank you and I appreciate your personal time and heartfelt feelings placed into your work!

Peace!
