I liked it, the teal I'm not too fond of...but overall, a very nice concept.
:iconliboy:
OK, the skin looks great, but couple of things:

- the box around all programs on mouse over is too BIG and make it better so as mouser over apps, not just grey...and bring down the start panel - it's floating(?)

- make the progress animations the default is :no:

- and make some shell style for media folders - music, picture, movies

That's all I think.
I comment this becuase I think it's a cool skin not bad. Do the things above and it's gonna be my favourite :)

I agree, nice concept but it is very bulky. I'd also change the font, it looks rather dated on the taskbar - aim for a cleartype font.
:iconelectrikjesus:
The font actualy has an effect that gives the illusion of a shine/reflection.

Keep the comments comming. If I am to update this skin I want to fix all issues/problems with it first. Please remember that this is an EYE-CANDY theme. but it still retains functionality.

love u guys,

a beautiful work!!
:iconsunbeam2000:
Awesome! Great Work!!

it's looks very nice with other toolbars, too.. (got a screenshot on my page)

There a only a few things i ask to redesign:

The font in the taskbar of the active window is very blurry..

The theme itself is very shiny, i like it, but the grey gradient bottom in a window looks a little bit "unfinished"..

Some bottoms of windows are plain (not gradient) , so they look unfinished in this theme. Okay, it's a xp problem but maybe you can redesign the bottom with another frame, so they look more embedded.

And maybe you can release a second version with aqua buttons or something on the right top. As an alternative to your "cut out" buttons.. ;-)

this would be cool..

finally, a great work, very stylish, very creative, not like the millions of vista clones out there..
