I agree with noiram. This skin has real potential. I did find it hard to operate (hitting the buttons in the right place)
Good first skin

First I just want to say thanks for the criticism guys it is always appreciated. Thanks for the compliments.
As for the buttons being a pain, I completely agree. As I said I did this in about an hour just to see how it functioned and while doing so I made a couple of mistakes. I actually did all of the layers on one image instead of doing each one as an individual image and then piecing it together. So by the time I realized just how much of a pain the buttons were I would have had to undo each layer and completely redo it(or so I was thinking at the time I didnt think of the adding a transparent layer) . Being my first skin and doing it just to get an idea of how it all works I decided to leave it as it was and take it as a learning lesson for next time.
As I type this I am taking a break from the next skin I am working on which is a completely different style and will have alot more work put into it. Was already thinking though of going back and doing more work on this one or making a better one in a similar style.
Thanks again. ��

Xion can be time consuming, especially with the buttons. Getting a down, normal and over state. Plus, since Xion doesn't handle layerstyles I usually will export the finished button to a png, then import it into the psd so i can preserve the layerstyles. For me, that is the most tedious part of building the skin, but, it ends up looking the way I want it.
That said, good job and keep at it. I think Xion is probably the best medium to start skinning.
