GROUP INFO

as a desktop application CD Art Display (aka CAD) was created to be a highly customizable and skinnable interface to show an album cover for the track that's currently playing in your media player (i.e. Winamp, iTunes, Windows Media Player, Foobar2000 etc.).

as a group #CD-Art-Display is meant to put a roof over an ever increasing amount of skinners, fans, contributors, addicts and all sorts of other supporters, which then would provide them with latest news & announcements, skins, tutorials & resources, help, contacts, contests, inspiration and many things more that are in any way related to the app CD Art Display.

we -the staff of #CD-Art-Display- have created a platform where a community could stay in touch with skinners and developers (.. and of course other friends and supporters) as well as the overall progress of a cool little app.

since the CD Art Display communitiy is already very large (while still growing) here on deviantART, it is our goal to encourage each and every one of our fans to join this group and hereby give them something they can easily identify with.

JOIN US

there are two different member classes for you to join, which both have different abilities & capabilities enabled that are explained as following:

Members
as a Member you will always be well informed about the things going on in here. you can submit your own or others' CAD skins to our "Faves" gallery. after a short voting procedure by our skinners & administrators, your deviation is likely to be applied in there. Members can also invite people to also join our group.
membership requests will automatically be accepted.

Skinners
the minimum requirement to join as a Skinner is that you have created at least one CAD skin. your joinrequests are subject to vote by our administrators & skinners. once accepted you'll be able to vote on new gallery submissions, join- and affiliation requests, too. besides, you'll have access to our "Back Room" and to our forum in there. Skinners can contribute their and others' work to our galleries and they can invite other deviants to join our group.
