This is a good layout amongst other strong points but there are a few things which make it a little less than perfect (in my opinion). These are...
1. The clock is a little grainy on the circular edges (even in a high res to mask it a lil)
2. The lack of sliders (for volume etc) and Progress bar style meters to match the theme (all text based is a lil basic)
3. I Use the DesktopX Sidebar(wharf) and the backround on that one has the shading that matches the WB theme (gradient from dark to light blue) where as yours only has one tone wich gives it a bland kindof look
Hope you dont take it the wrong way .. think its a good try just a few things i was thinking that i would do to it for personal use that would make it more pleasant for me to use... Look forward to seeing your next work.

Thanks. 
Jamie Macdonald, those are the kind of comments I look for. I'm new to skinning Sysmetrix and I wanted to know what people like. Thanks for the comment.

Hmm, what is so wrong with simple Sysmetrix skins nowadays ? Not every skin must fill the whole screen and have fancy bloated functions. This one does what it was made for : Show the most important system-informations.

That's what I was trying. I don't really need the WinAmp controls or volume controls since I can get to them in a click

Not a problem JD constructive commenting is the way to go rather than just saying oooh lovely (and not meaning it 100%) i look forward to seeing more work from ya 
c242: if you want simple system info ... why bother having a program that is themeable?? seems daft to me

Monty i used to make skins in the old dx1 and wb1 days and have got generally a lil lazy
Critisising is what a comments box is for mate ...no confusion there and i only try to be constructive i have a good eye some say and scince i cannot really make much original art (apart from wallpapers and things which are on here and deviant art (under old profiles from years ago)) i suppose i can only really comment ...i edit alot of themes for personal use (infact most of the ones i download) and other than uploading other peoples adjusted work (or nnot so good stuff of my own) then commenting on wwhat i think would look better is only appropriate ...dont mean to arouse bad things just mean to help
