Lol, the easy way? Did you even download the skin? And what now, is Stefanka by any chance the "inventor" of gloss? Besides... Longhorn Inspiriat designs were based on... yeah, Longhorn.
"Listen to some people who have been doing this a while, and take note" - oh, allright, grandpa... Look, if you don't like it, just say it. There's no need to back up your argumentation with dubious statements about "originality" and such. De gustibus non est disputandum;).
But now seriously - the IE buttons-issue will be dealt with, I simply do not have the time to do it right now. Satisfied?

Mr Nymite,
I like your skin but it does suffer from some "dark issues;-)" You did a great job for a first skin.
If I may be so bold as to offer help ... one other dark skin that I've found to work pretty well is Mike Bryant's ported "Multipass Carbon" He offers a "light" version that works well with most everything. Maybe you could tweak your settings to lighten up some of the dark text areas. Otherwise, I think you have the makings of an excellent skin.

Oh, thank you very much:). Making a lighter version seems like a great idea - and I'd love to take a look at the skin you mentioned. Could you provide a link...?

Sorry, I have to agree with Night Train. The all programs menu and taskbar are completely undreadable. The text is blurry.
Vetical taskbar is a mess as well, with blue horizontal lines running through it.
Now, for some advise... lose the cocky attitude when people try to give you helpful feedback.

I don't know about the blurry txt because I do not experience it, but since you confirm that it's there (thx), I'll try to do sth about it. The vertical taskbar bug will be fixed as soon as possible, too.
P.S. About the "cocky" attitude - nothing happens without a reason. Helpful feedback can be given in many ways - everything depends on the form. Just browse through the comments and you'll see what I mean.

Nymite, take and use what you can from the comments. Remember, even the best of the skinners can't make a blind to cover everything on every program, its impossible. Even this skin I'am using from a top skinner has a text issue on one of my games. 
Just be cool and don't let the herd run over you.

Thank you WOM, that's exactly what I'm going to do:). This is my first release ever and I'm probably being a little oversensitive. Again, thanks for your comment:).

Man, ur gonna get nowhere with that attitude except a bad rep.. ur loss, and no Stefanka didnt invent gloss he refined it, and im sorry if the truth stings a little but your caption is almost identical, If ur gonna "copy" someone do a better job of making it orginal.

Whats the point of linking to my skins? Are you knocking my work for trying to help you?
and yes, the "Created by" text is telling me the skin has big flaws.

I think it's a great look Mr Nymite. Sure there are some issues that need to be resolved but overall you've done very well.
The advice at creating a lighter version is actually a good idea.
MikeB314 and danilloOc are two names that pop into my head when I think of people that have successfully creating dark skins with alternate lighter versions. Perhaps taking a look at their work might be a good idea (if you haven't already done so
)
Can't wait to see the icons you've come up with.
Keep it up and like WOM says, don't let the mob get to you.

Strangely...when I see a skin that I don't like...for whatever reason...I just don't download it...the power of free choice. Giving advice about perceived issues is fine....wonderful, even....but accusations of 'attitude'....come on, people...have a re-read...grab yourselves a mirror...

I allready stated that I might have overreacted.
@vStyler
Here's a screenshot of StefanKa's Longhorn theme. How's my caption identical...?

If you were referring to this theme:
http://screenshots.haque.net/screenshots/view/25050/screenshot-25050.png
then know that the gloss StefanKa used is almost identical with another VS, namely Longhorn Alternative by Enhanced, Pantoni and Krezno. Guess it's about learning from others... I do believe my work is as original as it can be, for I created it from scratch.
But seriously, I don't want to talk about all this more than it's necessary. If you felt insulted by any way, then I'm sorry. I really didn't want to start a flame war.

@Jafo - thank you for your comment:). I hope that this "conflict" has come to an end:).
@DigitalCHET - thank you very much:). I actually haven't seen the skins you mentioned yet, but I'll check them out right away:).

Jafo.. you are correct. After a re-read I see the build up. Nymite, sorry about jumping the gun on that.
Everyone is cranky on here lately, myself included.
Now, about the blur... could you be using clear type and we are not? That might explain why you don't see it.
