very nice concept Shmoopy!
Personally I find the shadow on the Titlebar text a little distracting (hard to read) but I like the colors and the menubackgrounds. Just personal preference but I'd probably do away with the system icon.
Overall, it's very good.

Thank you pictoratus! System icon? Oh on the window bar? I guess I like seeing the icon for folder etc. there but it is pretty skinny.
Ahhh. The shadow needs to be a few shades lighter...that way the effect is in tact but not intrusive. Great tip, pic! *SMOOCHES*

I like it. The skin seems to work good. I would like to see a mouse over change in the button shape or brightness ,main windows top left,like on documents window buttons file ,view,edit,etc.All so if the task manager could some how have more then one background color built into it,for contrast.The before mentioned would also effect other windows like file properties windows.I like the window frames.I like the parts I did not mention as they are.
Well you asked.
Thats my honest opinion.

Hey looks pretty good. I must admit that I am a fan of simple skins, and personally not a huge fan of your other skins (a little too busy for my liking), but I'm liking this one a WHOLE lot.

AAAAaaaaaaaaaargh
Can't stop playing with the dancing buttons tehe..
The titlebar Font is probably better readable if it has no offset shadow.
I am hooked on this one. You are improving your skills very quick!

Angela this is great alil too pinky for my taste (me is picky when it comes to certain colors of pink) but the detail & work you put into this is great!
nice job on the mouse over on the small buttons they are neat the way they lift up (soft decent ani)
only suggestion is on the bigger buttons on the "toolbar" you might want to make them have a mouse over image such as the select button to match the title bar & smaller buttons maybe?
but overall you did great!

also I meant to say to listen to Lecrayon on that "Font Shadow" you should lose that, cuz it's unreadable for some reason...

Thank you for the input DavidMandle, Mr Cavanaugh, Doreen and LeCrayon
I'm gonna drop that drop-shadow on the titlebars then and yeah...those lines on the start-bar don't look right, LeCrayon...good eyes!
I really appreciate the help...my next skin will probably be gray just for a clean break from all of these colors I've been using.
I'm getting my new Dell computer delivered today...I'm about to bust! Woo hoo...new toy for Shmoooooooooooooooooopy!
Thank you again, folks! ((((HUG))))
