AVMAN,
I don't mean any of this in a negative manner, only to help you see what others might be seeing ok.
Overall, it's a good skin. It's not harsh and it didn't make me scream when I applied it.
I do think however, that it could stand some polishing. Here's where..
1. The Start Menu - Looks like part of the Log off and turn off computer images are cut off on my system.
2. In an open window, the white text on the bright blue glassy buttons is a bit harsh on the eyse. I don't know what you can do to ease that, but it might help.
3. The drop down menus... I'm not a fan of things that have lines like that (for lack of a better term). I like my menus clean and easy to read. The line effect distracts me.
4. Purple background in the shellstyles area.. seems to clash a bit to me.
5. Lastly.. The skin feels... LARGE. I think the buttons are too big. That's just me though. I'm prefer smaller and crisp.
Please keep in mind, there is nothing WRONG with the skin and I for one thank you for sharing it. I'm just giving you my personal preferences which may or may not be shared by others.
Time spent on a skin is not directly proportional to the rating it will receive. Keep that in mind.
Hope this was of some use to you.
