You will find bootskins primarily here (with a few beatniks, rainlendars and WB's) but I'm hoping to soon get involved in other types of windows customization like windowblinds which have really got me interested lately, check back often for new skins!

Hello Unclerob...first time here and what can I say...your work is awesome. Because of you, kitty and quite a few others too numerous to mention I'm giving WB's a shot. So much inspiration here. To the point...I'm also a Marvel fan. Had a collection that would stagger your brain. Nemor...I think that's his name. Tried posting comment on your skin page three times but it didn't work so I thought I'd post here instead. Think on the King of Atlantis or, remember The Watcher?...now that would make for a great skin. You rock big time dude...kudos.
May 1, 2007 4:47 AM
Hey man, just tried out Cap America. Truly awesome.Politics be damed. Can't wait to see what you do for the Surfer Keep it up
Apr 9, 2007 11:07 PM
Yepps!
Thank You Unclerob!

you asked where I got the silver windows logo from:
http://www.x-x-x-x-x.de/
Mar 7, 2007 4:53 AM
LOL
I WAS in the Top 3 in Kindergarten class!
Majored in Naptime.
Minored in Lunch.
After that, it was all downhill.
ackHay? Rob! I didn't know that you too knew the dead language of the ancients?!
Programmer, Physics, Advanced Mathematics?
I think someone else around here is a detective. Or a ackerhay. Or would I use the word "an" instead of "a" before ackerhay because of the vowel.
Dang it. I never was any good at Latin.
Hmmm... I mentioned to Al that I was interested in Astrophysics at one time. I never did mention Calculus though.
Programming.... I don't recall mentioning that....
Well, you got me stumped on that Roberto.
What color shirt am I wearing?
Nevermind, it'd be changed by the time you read this.
While you're at work sneaking off onto WinCustomize.com while nobody's lookin'.


Hey, I see you've got my BootSkin up there in your Favorite Skin Box!
WOW, I don't know what to say!
A Master of the Arts with something of mine on the same page!
Thank You My Good Man!
I feel really special! And not in a mentally challenged way this time.

Moderator, Moderator... ALERT! ALERT! We have a comedian on the site, shut down the web server immediately, heck power down the entire server farm, he's infiltrated the system... AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

Johnny, you're a comedian among your many other talents: bootskin author extraordinaire, graphic design wizard, programmer, hacker (ixnay on the ackhay), with a phd in physics & advanced mathematics.... you know you have to update your site with all of your accolades, it's a requirement.
Mar 7, 2007 1:24 AM
Looks like Dilbert eh?
Bald, glasses, ugly green tie....
So what you're saying is...
You like coffee?
American sense of humor..
Ughhh...
Or is it humour.. as in colour... as in cheque...
I hope I'm spelling them correctly
Mar 7, 2007 1:05 AM
that picture on the calendar does look like me, just it has more hair X) LOL, that's just too funny. I thought you were going to say that you used the heizenberg principle of uncertainty, along with a warp phase conduit, canooter valve and a torque'd out bindle-rotor to determine what I looked like. Either method would have worked! As you can tell by the calendar, I'm a big fan of Dilbert! Those comics emulate my work life closer than should be humanly possible!
Mar 7, 2007 12:27 AM
I Love it! It looks JUST like MY desk. How 'bout a wallpaper?

I also used a program to enhance the photos of the children.
From there I was able to use algorithmic variables combining the two children as a result to see what their father looks like.
The result was the image on the calendar.

Just kidding my friend.
Mar 6, 2007 10:28 PM
LOL
I'm sorry,
People standing in front of the vehicle all blurred out.
Looks like it could be a Sports car. Not sure.
You did a good job of doing it too.
Juhhhhst because of people like me.
Mar 6, 2007 10:24 PM
LOL
Just like the vehicle you blurred out?
It's saved in your Links on your Laptop.
Mar 6, 2007 9:56 PM
thanks for the comments tigerlady, it's a pic of my messy desk area at work, maybe I'll turn it into a wb theme

Johnny, how could you tell that I listen to Evanescense? That couldn't possibly have come through the desktop shot I provided above?! Go on, explain those detective abilities of yours...
Mar 6, 2007 9:05 AM
So you like Evanescence eh?
Mar 6, 2007 4:10 AM
Love your desktop. What is it and where can I get it?

Feb 15, 2007 8:50 AM
Thanks for the great compliments Rob!
Feb 14, 2007 3:15 PM
Johnny (Skinned Alive), what's the big surprise? You have some really great work, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has you listed as one of their favorite authors, plus you contribute alot of your expertise along with your great work to the site!
Feb 14, 2007 5:38 AM
Unclerob...i would love to see you and your work join www.skinartistry.com as well...you would be a great addition to that site
Feb 12, 2007 4:09 PM
Do my eyes deceive me?
Do you have ME in with your Favorite Authors?
Heck, that's better than me making it in the TOP 5 for the month.
You just made my day Uncle Rob!
Feb 6, 2007 5:47 AM
You have great work. I liked your Windows skin you posted to Wincustomize. Its one of my favorites.
Feb 5, 2007 7:51 AM
Hey thanks for the comments, I really appreciate that!! It works stimulating to keep on creating them. About the min/max buttons, I had a lot of problems with the upload of the skin 'Future' at first and here these buttons didn't work for some reason. As alternative I used the buttons of 'Cuibono' and these were accepted. And yes I did make the wallpaper myself, I make paintings as well. If you would like to see some of my work you could go to my website www.inekedisveld3d.nl.
You have really great skins! And I think that is also a stimulance for me to create skins! Thanks:)!!
Jan 25, 2007 1:46 AM
You da man Uncle!
Jan 22, 2007 3:12 AM

Just droppin' by to say hello to my favorite Uncle!
Jan 18, 2007 3:38 PM
Hi unclerob. Just stopping by to say hello!
Jan 18, 2007 3:23 AM
Thank You Zubaz for the kind words - it's awesome to receive feedback, I appreciate you taking the time to leave comments on my personal page here. I agree about the rebooting, my laptops/desktops tend to live in standby or hibernation mode when I'm not using them. Unless something catastrophic happens or I'm doing some maintenance work on my machines (patching, pagefile defrag, spyware/virus scanning in safe mode, etc.) I don't usually reboot either but when I do, I always stick around for the bootskin - it's the best part of turning on the machine. Stay tuned for some windowblinds work I'll be submitting soon, the best is yet to come!
Jan 18, 2007 2:59 AM
unclerob, I appreciate your contribution here, I rarely reboot and when I do I'm usually barely awake.

You've got interesting work. I look forward to seeing how you progress into Windowblinds.
Jan 1, 001 5:00 AM
Thanks to drop by my page today UncleRob and thanks for your comment
If i can help you in anyway ask
keep up the awesome work you rock :CONGRATS:
Jan 1, 001 5:00 AM

Jan 1, 001 5:00 AM
Thank You Unclerob for nice words!
Jan 1, 001 5:00 AM
Well done!!!
Jan 1, 001 5:00 AM
hey unclerob, i really love all ur skins, but please could you do just one thing for me, you know your black vista V2 skin... well when i use it, i dont like the background i want my own on so i change it but when i reset the pc, the other wallpaper is back because windows blinds reloads its self so please could you fix that for me, also on that same skin, please could you add a full transparent feature i love it on blue ice, but i like black vista more so i would like my fav feature on my fav skin thanks, Qas
Jan 1, 001 5:00 AM
Hi unclerob, love your work, when are we going to see some new stuff, I know your gettin into wblinds now, and that takes just a tad longer than bootskins, keep up the good work
Jan 1, 001 5:00 AM

Jan 1, 001 5:00 AM
Unclerob, I've been trying to modify your Logon "Vista Energy: 16 Shades of Yellow Gold v2.0" to read "Windows XP" for my personal use on my XP machine, but I can't get it to work right. I'm a noob, so I'm sure I'm just doing something totally wrong. Any chance you could do an XP version of this Logon? I really like it, but I don't have Vista.
