1 st I understand that a Wblind has to be functional or it is worthless ,however does it have to be a cookie cutter type skin to receive a good Rating??????

My newest skin has a ton of 3D renered images and it is definatly not coventional but seems to be pretty functional !!

So I ask for some feedback again tell me what you see on your computer NOTE all my PC's are wide screen so if there is a fitting prob. please tell me if not then
Maybe back to the cookie cutter!!

No your skins do not have to be 'cookie cutter' to receive a high rating... best thing to do though is forget about the ratings and not let them bother you.

However, with this skin there are other things that are not helping with the rating.

* The Start Panel has things 'cut off' on it (such as the program list and logoff/shut down buttons)

* Start Panel also has the 'shadow' setting still in place

* Black text on dark backgrounds (not good for usability)

* Some of the graphics are not crisp and kind of 'choppy'

* Much of it is very busy in areas where making it less so would make it more usable as well

I know there are probably other things listed and discussed in the comments on the skin.

All that said, the concept and method of using a 3D program is good. I (and I'm sure others) do not mean to discourage you. Just keep working out the 'quarks' and push forward. Skinning in and of itself is a learning experience for us all (what will work, what doesn't, ect ect) and pushing the 'boundaries' is always a good thing.

Tweak this skin some more and update it... the result will be much better for you and users.
