O.P. Release - Speed Racer
Another skin release for you all. This one is based on the upcoming speed racer movie.

The skin features a clean white design with Mach 5 branding around the skin. The skin features skin options similar to those that were used in Iron Man so there is plenty to play with. There are also a few new options that I have added since people have been asking for them.

The Speed Racer skin allows you to hide the email notification button and the entire word wheel (search for contact bar). Might not seem major, but at least the options are there now for those that want it.

Yeah the skin looks very Iron Man-ish, its just that the borders aren't modified here.

I personally don't really like it (along with Iron Man) because the borders waste too much space (when you're on 1280x800, simple is good)

ditto...i never thought i would say this to one of your skins Willz, but in all honesty i do not like it, the whole thing just does not appeal to me, don't like the shapes nor the red and white, obviously i could never make such a skin so i can't complain to much, i certainly won't use it but it is there for those that want it :)
...there used to be a signature here :)

Judging from screenshot the heading on the contact and chat windows is HUGE and yes it'd be good if it was minimized a bit, also I'm guessing that 5 is on the car, personally I think the car's M logo in an orb would be better suited there than a high contrasted Red and Yellow ball, I do like the glass-button-alike min max close though :)

Firstly, I think movie skins are being released too early. There's still 3 weeks until it's released. I think they should be released on the movie release date, or a few days before if it's a big movie. At least wait until it's being advertised ;).

Second, I wasn't a fan of the Iron Man skin because I thought it was over-themed, if that makes sense. It's just hard to read some things (the conversation window in particular) and not an enjoyment to use. I prefer simpler skins. I know a lot of hard-work has been put into it and it's great to see advanced WLM skins, but I think the borders and the fact it's over-themed spoils it, unfortunately.

But nevertheless, your still the greatest Plus! skin creator and I'm sure the people who doesn't like this, will like other skins. :)

Agreed with some of the comments here, i know it fits the themes of movies, but i just don't like bloated skins.
