Welcome  

I'm Tim Dagger, a skin designer based in the UK and Essorant is my online nickname. This site is a repository for the skins and themes which I've made over the past few years.

My recent work includes graphics and skins for private clients using DirectSkin technology from Stardock. If you have some skinning requirements, please feel free to contact me.

And here it is...

I hope you like the new design. It's a much lighter feel - less cluttered and without using frames.

I'll be updating the galleries with my recent content over the next week.

Ok. I'm a very naughty boy. My list of WB skins is woefully out of date. I have another six skins which should be uploaded here in the next week or so. A thousand apologies. If you really need to get my latest ones, pop over the Wincustomize (www.wincustomize.com)

New pack added - Refresh! - three exclusive new skins with accompanying wallpapers.

I've also updated the 'Colours' skin pack to include WindowBlinds v4 features - progress animations and toolbar icons. If you have a registration key for the Colours pack you can use it again to download the update - free.

It's been a very busy time! The GUI Olympics are now finished, so there will be an update for Tranche9b and Colours suites to add progress animations and toolbar icons - expect an email when they are ready to download.

After that - my next WindowBlinds pack! I hope to get that out before the end of the month.
