Too much dithering in preview to judge skin. Try to use higher resolution (at least 1280x1024), and use an external program to make screens instead of the print screen button. Great skin, but the preview gives a bad first impression.

You know what would help? You should make the text size smaller for the task bar. I don't like the huge letterings... Otherwise, pretty good.

Firstly, this theme is nothing like the default XP theme
Seccondly, I tried posting a 1280x1024 screenshot but Apparently WinCustomize's new system has an issue with them and totally warps/distorts them
And about the lettering, yes, a lot of things will be shrunk and/or modified when I finish and release RC3
Thanks for the comments and support

Well I like it and I dont think either it looks like XP out of the box (still got me scratching my head), nor do I think the text on the task bar is too big. I am perplexed about one thing...and I have to be honest I hate MSN anything..inlcuding their messenger....but it looks just like Yahoo's new version of messenger...I just loaded it up and did a side by side comparison (the new version of yahoo messenger refuses to be skinned by WB).
Anyway I like it and I think u did a great job...I would give a 7

I think this skin was poorly done. You could have done much better. It looks like Royale with some changes that don't even make it better. I like the idea of the cut titlebars/start menu but at least make the images nicer and blend more with the theme. Make sure everything is in porportion and not a few pixels lower then it should be. Make sure everything is centered. Use good colours, don't settle for allright. It could be good, but you need to try harder when making it.

I downloaded the skin, and while it was solid work, I don't see much difference over my default XP theme.

I don't know exactly what you mean? I tried to line everything up perfectly and I haven't noticed anything that wasn't - mind pointing it out> (I do know that there is a minor problem with min/max/close buttons which I am working on fixing).

I paticularly like this skin because I have the free version of WindowBlinds and Win 2000 aswell. So cool coz now it's making my Win 2000 plain-ness XP-like! But I wish WindowBlinds would adapt to to Win 2000 like it does to XP 
But overall, nice skin

Well, first I want to say that I think you're being WAY to defensive here. You asked for comments and suggestions, but can't take it when they are made and that's just sad. Don't ask if you don't want to hear what people have to say!
Now, I hate to say it but I tend to agree with Steve on this one. And to be honest there's nothing any more special about this one compared to any of the Royale skins out there, except for a few images like the shutdown dialogue back. It's a nice effort overall, but I already have this one...several time over...

Next time perhaps you could put a little more effort into making something original...don't get me wrong, it's nice, but so are the others. I mean you went through all the trouble of making a WB, and I'm sure you put a lot of effort into it...it would be nice to see you put that effort into something "more"
Oh and about the preview issue...making excuses and being defensive...I've not ever had any problem getting my 1280 by 1024 previews showing up without "warps/distorts". Link
