Good step, atle-mj. It's not easy to apologize and mean it. Good on ya!
Let's all try to let bygones be bygones, and rate your efforts on their merit alone... and not on the prior thread.
I agree with Hankers regarding your potential.

Your graphics are beautiful, but there are some issues with your start menu. You need to go into the extra settings tab and put in the height of your graphics because it's not stretching correctly. This is what it looks like right now: 
Also, I personally would choose a different font color for the taskbar buttons font, and I would choose different colors for the mouseover glow on the titlebar buttons. The red on the close button really doesn't coordinate very well with the gorgeous aqua that is the primary color of the skin.
Also, you show a lot of potential as a skinner, but you left a lot of this unskinned (left the original template graphics in the skin) especially in the Edit Controls section, where you only skinned a few of the items. Your graphics skills are wonderful, but you need to apply them to all areas of the skin.

wird it dosent strech on your desk, it do for me, il look into it , but not easy for me when it streches on my screen

It's always a good idea to get somebody to be your skin tester. I can't tell you how many times I've thought my skin was perfect, only to find it looked like crap on somebody else's computer. One of the reasons I LIKE the ranking system here at WinCustomize, is because lower ranking skinners can partner with higher ranking skinners and learn from them by having them be testers, but even the master skinners who have been here for a long time and helped more people than I can count, have people they rely on to test their skins before they release them.
I'm a journeyman, and I have Vampothika, who is a master, test my skins; she always sees something that I never even noticed. Rank isn't just a forum/mod thing -- it's a way to tell who has been here for a while, knows their way around the customization software that they use and has HELPED a bunch of people, too.
Edit Startmenu and Taskbar-->Edit Startmenu-->Extra Settings (tabs)-->Height of Part (Vista/7)
Change that number to equal your graphic height for Top, Left hand side, Right hand side, Bottom bar and All Programs background.

i meen the part in the windows7 o/s not sks
my menu is locked i also want it to strech
guntil i manage to fix this turn menusize to 10 10 in the menu you change what to show on your desktop and use big icons on the taskbar. see if that fixes the streching.
the reason of the early reales was the testing part to get feadback
so tnx what your doing is helping alot .
