[Service-Team]

Although we pressed the turbo key on our computer, it's still couting the results. However, now we know at least the second place!

It is . . .

So far - hopefully our voting computer has calculated the first place until tomorrow. We are so curious ...

Best regards,

Hi SilverEagle,

congratulations. (But on the other hand, I believe you owe me a bottle of wine, or? ).

Nice to see that the voting honored the difficulty of your skin.

Cheers, and enjoy.

Hi All,

Thank you all! Very unexpected - as frenchi knows. I think I might owe him a bottle... (@frenchi: although I remember something about me not being serious? But we'll see about my last prediction )

I think SJ is a nearly perfect program which only lacked a real touchscreen skin, and I hoped my creating one even usable by unexperienced and/or slightly(?) intoxicated people might fill that void.

I am very glad (and proud) that 16.3% of the voters perhaps not only agreed, but that they even specifically liked my attempt

Again: Thank you all,
SilverEagle

Congrats, SilverEagle. You did a great job programming this skin. I more than like your attempt - I can't imagine using my touchscreen without it. I totally agree that SJ was missing a "real" touchscreen skin, and I'm honored to have been trusted to provide feedback to you along the way.

I can't wait for v2.0 ...

Congrats SilverEagle

Well, it's a nice skin, but I'm to supposed the green machine made the race

[Skinner]

Congratulations, SilverEagle - for this skin, and, as you know, also for your other ones

@Werner:

I might as well tell you: I predicted frenchi's moving-colored-lights jukebox skin will win (forgot it's name, too lazy to look it up - sorry frenchi )

It has a better first impression than GreenMachine, I can image people seeing the screenshot of GM and thinking it's boring, I mean apart from its moving-machine gimmick it has no really special design features (it does have a nice outer glow though). And people like chrome, and it is actually usable with buttons for all the options SJ offers (greenmachine's intentional silent breaks during animation are fun but in use _very_ obnoxious ).

So I put my money (or to be precise frenchi's return of my bottle of wine) on his moving jukebox...

@team: after my initial shocking dislike I can appreciate your very slow voting-count machine after all: it certainly adds to the fun & excitement!

Hello SilverEagle,

nice that you appreciate our voting computer. It is slow, but very accurate - and we expect the final result already today

Best regards,
Your Silverjuke-Team

PS: Frenchis "moving-colored-lights jukebox skin" is called "Classic Box".

Let me guess: it's the Atari ST, or:

Description fits:
'no internet' = to assure that nobody from outside can counterfeiting the results
'and not for the daily work' = for sure 'skin contest' is not daily work.
and speed fits too.

Cheers
