Nice idea but it needs a lot more work I think. Some constructive critiscism: The borders are massive. There are missing bits- like the mouseover on all programs. Also much of it is just too blinding... you need to tone down the reflections somewhat imho.
Overall I think the dark small subskin is the only one which really works well... and its very effect-overloaded. A more subtle look might be more effective. I'm thinking of the shadow and glow effects.
It is very original though, and I think with more work will turn into a fine skin.

Could somebody PLEASE send me a PM with the proper way to use Styler Toolbar with WB5. I can't seem to get it working. I need the proper configuration settings. My toolbar doesn't change. Also, does Styler work with a dual monitor set-up? Thanks in advance.
Other than that, this is a great skin! Good work!

Yes it is a fine skin. However, the file is too large, which is not a problem, I can just delete some stuff within it. Nevertheless, check this out; when you unzip this file it has the various wallpapers and what not, you have 2 wbload files, and once you unzip the 1.5 final it has more of the same wallpapers that was in the original unzipped file, and what was the other wbload file for? The same thing, or was that 1.41 release if that was you said to uninstall the old release before the new one, if it's not the 1.41 release why do have 2 wbload files, too confusing for me. This skin not only has to be fixed in some ways I'm quite sure you'll work that out, but it's way too much junk in the folders. In your readme file I was looking for some way to install the styler toolbar[s] but the only information there is the same thing you wrote in your post for the screenshot, no information whatsoever, it's not user-friendly. Buddy, you have a whole lot of things to work out.

Personally, I think this skin is a mess. It's a good idea, and a good effort, but just doesn't cut it. Sorry.

You know, my above comment was based on downloading it, and trying it out. But now that I look at the screenshot, it is nothing like what I get when I download it. The screenshot looks nice! Where is that skin? That's not what I get when I install it...

The only complaint i have of it. The borders are huge. The Close button is also very large. But overall a very great skin. It actually has some blur effect to the border if you look closely. which is something i haevnt seen yet. Other than that great skin.

for all that have been having problems with this skin. I'm sorry. this is my very first attempt at skinning. I have fixed most of the problems with the skin and re-uploaded it. it only has 1 .wba file now. and you will find the theme in the screenshot as the substyle "i!g dark shadow sm"
The toolbar issue...
Please install Styler Toolbar found here : http://www.crystalxp.net/dl/en.gal.551.htm
then copy the styler toolbar theme folders to "C:\Program Files\Styler\TB\skins\Styler's"
right click on the toolbar uncheck all but styler Toolbar. then switch to the correct theme.
Thank You all for bearing with me.

I just downloaded and installed it and I find it to be a very nice skin! I actually like the big borders. I think it's all a matter of taste. To bad we can't please all the people all the time. I did notice there were options for a smaller border which I chose and its quite nice. I even liked the clear skin as well as the dark. In order to reduce the size of the file I removed the styler toolbar and a couple walls which I wont use. I did really like 3 of the walls which I will use often! Thanks for the submission and keep it up!

This is an excellent release for a first time skin. I'm using it right now and it works for me just fine the way it is. Keep up the good work, it is fine just the way you intended it to be.

I like this skin quite a bit. A very nice dark theme.
Only thing that would make it better, is if the fonts were not so light (as in the drive folders, control panel etc)
But, great skin.

I will release an update to version 2.0 (which should be tha last release). I have been busy with "The Next" skin in my collection, Preview here: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/36762853/ and here:http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/36668369/ .
Any advice or bugs found Please post!!! I check this site daily. I will try to fix most of the problems, but as it might be this is only my second month with the software. I'm still learning. If you can provide details of how to fix certian problems, PLEASE DO!! I would be grateful to learn more and help turn this "VISTA" community into a truly creative one.
I have found a few tricks already, Skinners, feel free to take my ideas and use them in your own way. I am also very good at engineering. so finding new ways around old problems will be easy. I look foreward to hearing from you guys.

the screnner looks amazing i havent tested it jet but i will ,what i do like the borders the transperency effect and the themes stylebar in the documents folder as i can see from the screen so I would say if there are no problems with the download or the installation great work for that but the file is HUGE dude use winuhc for such big files its better if you upload those spare server overloading 6-10 not more its in the Agb
