I am thrilled to announce that Grant Hinkson, visual designer extraordinaire, has agreed to create a new skin for Podder! I have the utmost respect for Grant’s talents as a visual designer, his imaginative use of visual effects, and his expertise in WPF. I can’t wait to see how good Podder will look once he is finished with it.
I thought it was a long shot when I asked Grant if he would be interested in working on my side project, because I know he is a very busy person, but he was just as excited as I am about working on Podder. It is great working with passionate people! I feel that the Podder project has now gone from being cool to phenomenally cool.
Here is a little background info on Grant, in case you are curious:
- Director of Visual Design at Infragistics
- Created the WPF tool called Pistachio
- Wrote part of the “Silverlight 1.0” book, published by Wrox
- Created the Fireworks to XAML Exporter
- Active in the Fireworks community
- Articles on Adobe Devnet
- Did Fireworks session at Adobe Max
- Fellow Bach fanatic
Thanks for agreeing to help make Podder, Grant. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Can’t wait to see the Podder skin.

Mmmm I have come across Grant before, I have looked at his Fireworks -> XAML exporter. I couldnt use it hough I have old version of Fireworks. Ho Hum
This will be great though. Cant wait
Cornel, Karl, Sacha,
I agree with you all. This is too exciting!
Thanks,
Josh
can’t wait to see the new skin…..
I’m sure it will look great!
What would also be really great is if Pistachio could read .sln files, that way we could check all globally defined resource references…
