Good stuff-
The skin feels the same throughout
You did skin pretty much all of the elements
It's very usable
Stuff to maybe improve on-
Being a little more creative. (the buttons on windows look just like xp)
Less is more (the windows have really wide borders that take up space)
Watch your sizing margins so images don't get stretched (tabs look stretched out)
Keep it up! Good job

I may not be the best one to comment, but I'm going to anyway 
It seems to me that many of your images have a jagged look to them - especially in the special panes and tabs section. I don't know if it's the rounded buttons you are using or if the sizing margins are off.
Also in the section "combo box" you seem to have two images fighting each other. The Deprecated Glyph and the Glyph image are the same, resulting in double down arrows slightly offset from each other. To fix this you can import the default Sks image for the Deprecated Glyph.
You should also look at the quick launch buttons (check the sizing and content margins)
I hope you take this as constructive advice not as slamming, I only want to help
Have fun!

Good effort!
You can only get better from this nice initial skin.
I like the 3D layered feel to the skin, But do pay attention to jagged edges and stretched images.
Keep on skinning!

I agree with some of the previous comments, good 3D work, it could be a bit crisper (no jaggies, better defined lines-possibly heightening the contrast or using some advanced shading, and resizing the margins). I don't personally have a problem with the size of the window borders, but combined with the lack of definition, it lends the skin a rather soft and bulbous look. The skin has a sort of chrome feel to it, I like it. Anyway very solid 1st skin, and I look forward to your future creations. Hope that helps. ragamuffin, I'm guessing (hoping anyway) that you were trying to be funny in a sharp manner. Trust me, it doesn't read that way. If you have some advice that can help him, join in, If you don't, please refrain from tossing a brick.

It seems to be the images, if anti-aliasing was used for them there is no feathering to smooth them out. Sizing margins will/did not fix jagged look.
No offense mangesh: this is his 17th WB skin here, as he stated first with round buttons. With that many skins created he should have a good idea how to make nice smooth images regardless of the shape of them.

Well Mangesh, it's becoming quite obvious that you can't please the masses but you once said that you're used to three stars or less. I'm glad that your still doing your own thing cause I quite like your skins. Obviously some newborns around thinking this was your first ! GOOD STUFF !�

I like it. It's straightforward, it's stylish, and it lets you do what you need to without getting in your way. Thanks! �

But what do I know, I'm using a skin recolored in black.
