The colors are too strong for my liking. Perhaps a calm blue with a bit of a light orange-yellow would work nice i think.

Anyway just keep at it and im sure you'll make something people can enjoy.

i have made some modifications to the image files and they are shown below, please let me know so i can perfect them before uploading them into the skin.





i appreciate any help i can get, nanfreak you stated earlier that i should show screenshots without the borders, what borders are you refering to exactly as theres a couple of things i might consider to be borders.

the aero boarders... and the show menu stuff =\

oh right so just take off the show menus in future, ok well once i settle on new colour combinations ill have to make new screenshots and then i will do that for you.

Just a tip for the next time you screenshot your skins.. Remove your contacts email addy.. I'm sure they don't want random people adding them. Might want to do the same for your own to.

The initial blue colour is good. (EDIT: I just realised it's more of a green than a blue but whatever) Maybe a little bit lighter shade though, like the colour I can see on the bar under where I'm typing this post which says Options: Signature/Email Notification/Disable Smilies yeah you know what I'm talking about.

As for the gradient to red/orange, perhaps if it was to yellow it would look a lot better. Cos personally, prefer yellow sand over red any day.

Anyway it's a nice concept you've thought of here, but it's gonna be pretty tricky getting the right colour combination right, as people are usually pretty fussy when it comes to specifics on their visual styles, which is why its a good thing when you get the exact right colour on this one, it's gonna be awesome.

ok ive made those changes, the lighter blue may also solve my toasts problem too.
