I knew you created the theme. I can tell your style.
Like i said "design mistakes" are a relative thing. One person's trash is another's treasure.
Blue is more prominent as its on window frames, start menu and button. The flash happens so infrequently that the teal should have been designated for that and the blue should have had a more prominent placement. Just my opinion.

I wouldn't say relative, more like subjective. Your opinion on the choice of color doesn't make the skin flawed, neither does your opinion on the quality of the ankh symbols. You write like you're the final authority on what makes a "perfect" skin. I've seen the creations you've come up with... It all looks good, but they certainly do not contain less "design mistakes" (I mean that they contain bits and pieces which I'd rather see made different) than this skin do.
You really should take the same care in how you voice your opinions on Stardock releases, as your posts around the forums clearly state you expect from them concerning your own products.

It's called an opinion and this is a forum and i don't have to justify my opinions to you. And I am an authority as i have done this professionally for 10 years. If you want to play by your own rules then you have no right to call me out anymore than i can call out things i see as 'mistakes'. So which is it? Are we allowed to make comments on our forum or should we all sit back like little sheep and say nothing.
And since when is making suggestions wrong? WTF?
And yes it's "subjective" not "relative".

You're absolutely right! I checked it out, and it would make an awesome accompaniment to this skin. I have one question before I download it (because I have precious little space on my harddrive of late), does your Age of Mythology WMP have a taskbar player with it? I like to listen to music softly in the background when I'm working, but I have to constantly fiddle with the volume settings, depending on what ELSE I'm listening to (doctors dictating reports that I'm suppose to be transcribing...the quality of audio of which fluctuates constantly between doctors). If the player doesn't have a taskbar player, then it's too cumbersome for me to use and not worth the drive space.

I'm using it right now so I can answer that for you. Yes,it does minimize to the taskbar. It looks perfect with this theme btw. Like all the TSF WMP skins,the quality and detail is excellent.
The file size for the skin is 1,566 kb so don't worry about the drive space being used.

When formulated in a way that looks to discredit the designer. I've seen posts against your creations that is as clearly an attack on you the same way this is clearly an attack on the stardock team.
Even if you don't agree with me, and don't feel that you've been overly subjectively aggressive. I think we all (including me) need to start expressing ourself more objectively, could we agree to try it anyway? (Not just you and me, but the entire community. I think we can all benefit from it)

Make sure you're logged on correctly to Impulse, and that your MyColors is updated.
Click on the lightning orb....and select the "change Logon" thing and put in your email and password and click ok...that should get you into Impulse...then check to see if your MyColors is installed correctly and updated.
If everything is kosher, you should be able to update and Ankh should show up.

Nice skin, thanks! Love the way you did the light reflections on the min/max/close buttons and the start button (love the start button period for that matter). Love the bouncing deally-bop-thingie in the start menu (dazzle you with my technical terms? 
)
