Thanks to everyone who entered the iGoogle Custom Skins competition. I'm pleased to announce the winner as being Martin Porcheron for his excellent Bluedream skin. $50 coming your way, Martin!

It was a tricky decision and there was some very tough competition but it was the combination of the pleasing gradients and rounded corners that did it. And the nice new search button.

Honourable mentions go out to mac_fun for the great simple black skin and also to Le Marquis for the skin named Kol: The Falls.
