Just kidding... but I still thought some of you might be interested in a bit of news about my latest skin.
I promised I'd release something new this year as a result of Gary Jules getting the Christmas No. 1 and winning me £400 to buy myself a sparkly new home cinema system. Well, I've now settled on a likely candidate for my next release, and things are progressing slowly but surely.
I won't tell you what it's called or give you any more details than the image below and to say it's a skin to accompany a rather popular recent release in another area of desktop customization by a surprising new(ish) talent.
Answers on a postcard to the usual address...

Nearly had a heart attack when you mentioned this may be going into the GUIO '04 That two months away! Curse my impatientness!
Custom colours are hard to get right. No idea if this would work, but you could just make masks for the areas that you don't want changing (like the close button) and let the force custom colour option handle the rest? Yet to try that method myself so it may not work.
What ever happened to your 8-Ball skin
GUIO '04 seems like a perfect excuse...

You mean this 8-ball skin?
I think it's pretty much dead now. My abilities have moved on a ways since I started work on that skin, and so many similar ones have come along in the meantime.
Perhaps if there's sufficient demand I might be coaxed back into working on it, but for the time being I think I'll be looking elsewhere for entries to the GUIOs.

I am very close with the game of billiards in all forms. An 8-ball skin would be something I would cherish for days. I would really love to see a pool-related skin...especially one done by you, GH. What more could a pool fan ask for? 
If you are looking for demand...count me on the list.

Wouldn't want to coerce you in to making it but I can see 9-ball skin being made from that...and an 2 ball, 3 ball etc 
.
However, getting back to the skin at hand, the little teaser shot look great, if the rest of the skin look as good then you just may be on to another winner
(plus I'm a sucker for blue skins)

Wow, looks awesome so-far..
I, too, think that a fast and nimble skin would be better than eye-candy..too many eye-candy skins lately.
Also I like the old one better too...the new one is a bit *too* shiny..

The features on the original Metalx3 are amazing but I admit I hardly use any of them. I like the new look but agree with the others - for regular use, I prefer simple.
That said, I'm looking forward to the release.

I like the new version greyhaze, it's like shiny anodized metal
And also being an avid Pool Player, you can count me in on popular demand for that 8-ball skin.

gray, the teaser looks great. I'm sure we'll enjoy using it *whenever* you can release.
