Alienware ALXMorph

Dream job. That’s what we call a project when a company like Alienware Corporation approaches our design studio and contracts us to create not one, but two fully-customized skin suites. Tell us that you’re going to ‘pre-install’ our work on a ton of high-end PCs – and we’re some very pleased artists.

The Alienware Teleport Windows Media Player 9 Series skin is one result of our endeavor to make Alienware’s desktop environment unlike any desktops that have come before.

To the core, both Alienware and The Skins Factory share a common love of all things science fiction and a clear-cut ambition to create the most innovative products in the marketplace.

The Skins Factory’s Creative Director, W. Bart, began skin construction with a palette of alloy silver and onyx black. He then constructed an introduction animation that is not only rich in genre sound effects, but contains two bi-directional, gyroscopic ring rotations. The animation utilizes over 135 individual animation frames. Pushing the creative envelope that other studios can only hope to keep up with? You betcha.

This skin is part of the AlienGUIse™ Alienware AlienMorph™ Skin Suite. The suite includes a Windows Media Player skin, complete customized icon set, a custom Windows desktop theme and a wallpaper.

NVIDIA Reactor

NVIDIA contracted TSF to create a companion skin to our XFire application UI.

An advanced Windows Media Player 10 skin that pushes the boundaries of skin functionality and design. Forget a moment the exciting intro and runtime animations laced with sound effects that are sure to please even the most casual user, but now we’ve created an advanced Playlist module that will let you search you library, rate your songs, access playlists with a quick click of your mouse and even RIP your cds right from the skin.

Works with Windows Media Player 11.
