Great skins, and applications buttons. Very cool, how you have so many variations of the skins in the file. Thanks!

To be honest...I like your other skins better. I also think the original MetalX was better. I will rate this skin a 9, I can't deny the fact that it still is a damn well-made skin.

Thank you for all the encouraging comments. It's good to know the past month and a half was time well spent.

I think this skin is very much a 'love or hate' situation, just as the original was last year. I always found myself going back to metalX, despite feeling that it was just too 'bleached out', with quite poor highlighting on the buttons. Those were my main two concerns when creating this version, but in the process the look of the skin has changed quite dramatically.

I'd be interested to know what you preferred about the original, Hus, when compared side-by-side with the silver version.

Grayhaze, on a technical effort, this skin is infact better than the original. I guess it's just that the original was almost like a breakthrough in WB skins, it was a trend-setter, this is just following the trend. Know what I mean?

Absolutely awesome grayhaze! The tutorial is so complete and well-written that I don't think it will take me more than a month or two to have it down! LOL Great stuff, thanks so much!

Great job on the skin The only thing I would change is the ability to change the color of the skin. In metalX you where able to change the color of the taskbar without affecting anything else.

I'm not sure what you mean about being able to only change the taskbar colours Goatie, but I think you're referring to the custom colour support in metalX. That's something that didn't make it into this remake, mainly due to the extra detail in the glass areas. However, time permitting, I may make other colours and possibly a stand-alone custom colour version. No promises though, as this skin took such a long time to put together.

Oooooh, I've been wanting this. Looks fabulous. So far the only bits I've noticed that could use improvement are the lack of custom color, and the 'All Programs,' 'Log Off,' and 'Turn off' buttons being too bland. I'm not a skinner, so I'm not sure what it takes, but perhaps instead of them being highlighted by a green box, if they were smoother, with only the buttons glowing, or another subtle feature. The Hulk and Avenger are two skins I can think of that feature what I'm so awkwardly describing. Other than those it seems a great skin

This is trick man. I've been aching for a clean looking green-colored scheme and the silver standard of this one totally awesome. The only thing I've seen that is messed up is the vertical scroll bar's picture isn't round..instead it appears like it has two silver ears on the top of it and then is round on the bottom. It could just be my machine... Is it? Thanks again for such an awesome setup man...Very trick.
