This screenshot features a Xion skin that I haven't released as it can only be used with the wallpaper behind it, and I didn't think people would be interested in that. The entire lighthouse is the player, and has light beams which react with the beat, The progress bar is the small yacht which runs between the two flying seagulls. The umbrellas are all buttons too, and the open umbrella is the volume control. I added the bi-plane as the track title, it wasn't on the original wall. The skin is Helios by vStyler, one of my all time favourites. I used the Windowblind skin to make the playlist too.


Probably the most special custom desktop I've ever seen.

When JC Rabbit gave me permission to make a Xion skin to match the Evolve Talisman theme, he also said I could make the matching Windowblinds skin, which I duly did. It remains unreleased to this day, and I can't remember why! I must have been having trouble with some aspect of it. Maybe I'll go through it with a fine toothcomb and then release it. Maybe...........

Since BoXXi brought up Winstep, Giz made a Winstep of Christmas Joy 2011 and the Plas Fan Christmas skin (PlasFanXmas), Tom.

Those two bring back great memories, Tom. And there was another one from back then whose name currently escapes me. It was similar to the top one but the main color scheme was blue and white, which I also enjoyed using.

That's a very nice one, Tom but the name finally came to me. "Christmas Time". It was actually a whole Suite. Here's a screenshot of it:

Great looking Christmas Suite Reaper, wish it was for Windows 10 and 11, but so many skinners have left the site sadly.

Not perfect, but got it working. Start menu & buttons need some more work. Wall is by adni18.

Good job so far, Jan!

Slacker! Should have been fixed already! Get busy!

Quoting LightStar,

Christmas Time


This looks like a really fun skin. I agree with Doc, someone needs to update this.

There is the teensy weensy issue of permission by the author if the updater wishes to distribute the skin...

Yeah, I think it was originally made for Windows Xp, so I doubt if it would work for Windows 10 or 11. Some Vista skins still work for Windows 10, but Xp is just too far back. The same probably holds true for the IP set. There were a lot of nice animated widgets for it too, such as blinking Christmas lights!
