Looks ok, but could have some improvement:

Add a stroke to the metal of the main window, should make it seem more 3d. Also give the buttons insets, not shadows.

hey matt, it IS very nice...
and i know how hard it is to satisfy everybody, i really do...

about HH's stroke suggestion... how about JUST deblurring the buttom a bit, add a few wires for a shnazzy look.
althought you dont really have to

fill the top dent with a metal wire

cool design, me like

[carlosp]

Cool skin dude. Me likes. Since i am not a designer i can´t give you any tips for making the gfx look better.

[hammerhead]

Or just make the inner glow darker :)

[UUL]

you could make the red parts glowing a bid

[matt_69]

hey thanks for the huge response guys..the red parts are going to be drawers for the eq and thinger so i dunno about the glow..actually now that i look at it it would be good.

umm hh about the insets..dunno whether it looks any good although im not the best at making them, the drop shadow sort of makes it blend in.

will have a new update soon.

its not possible to make anything go outside the perimeter of the main background is it?

I liked it a lot, probably it'll be my default modern skin.
Hope you finish it soon!

this new design looks good. That big red thing could be a grip or a drawer.

[matt_69]

yeah its goin to b a drawer for either the thinger or eualizer or both, could just code it do either one comes out..

i like both designs, but you should give your skin a nice glass-look, not the blurry photoshop-default bevel.

[matt_69]

say what! this is my own design...the only photoshop stuff is the inner, out glows and drop shadows plus sum strokes..the rest is using gradient with white and sum overlay.

calm down man! all i do is giving you advices how I think it would look better. that's my very own oppinion and i don't say it's right or wrong
k, if it's not done with the default settings of ps, it's at least looking like that.
no offence at all

[matt_69]

hey..i didn't mean to sound angry or n e thing...it was meant to b in a joking sorta tone but yeah...i think i made the glare a bit too close to the edge which is y its looking weird.

[UUL]

me still like
