Note: to view the preview in full size, right click on the thumb and choose view image (firefox). The flash preview popup ends up pretty small due to my double height preview.

This a really nice visual style, I liked how you made the tabs, the command bar buttons and how you used the glass in the UI but knowing when not using it (example: titlebar when maximized).

 

Although the frames are very bold and modern, the inside elements and controls are very clean

and very usable, that without loose the connection with the futurist theme you're using.

 

One thing that bothers me is the use of white for inactive texts, that because it's really stands out more than

the active text, take the popup menus as example, right click the desktop and mouse over an item,

notice that the active text is grey, the selected text is white and the inactive text is also white,

even thought the selected text has the selection image behind it, the white inactive text still calls more

attention that the active text. Of course we can get used to this design choice but will not give the

best user experience result.

 

Anyway, awesome work, it's one of the best skins I've seen in a while.

Thanks for your comment, people!

 

Thanks for the detailed review, Dani. That's exactly the kind of feedback I like! I understand what you mean about the white text and kinda agree with you....I'll keep it in mind for future updates.

I have updated the file to address the white text issue. It turned out the the white was effecting another (unrelated) area making the text impossible to read! It's a nice light gray now.
