Lol @ Mudslung!

Slob- I like that one! I respect your skins with millions of settings for the hard work you put into them, but I like ones like this that aren't too cluttered up. Pretty sweet looking! I'd almost mirror those vertical lines from the top onto the bottom. I think they look better than the circular depressions.

ps- you should make a red version and call it Hal from 2001 space odyssey! :P

thanks guys :)
let me get the cbuttons in and oh yea the RGB skry and i'll pass it on ;) rgb will only be on the lcd/green parts this time, still keeping with the metal look

i could go a few ways with this design, I will keep it simple for the 1st version and perhaps bring out a mark II/III with some more ott sections

those vertical lines Kev, will move down slightly, i wanted to reuse the main outer ring as it was from a concept skin a did last year but its not been coded yet and it was just too good to not use, the lines will pull down a bit from the top, i will look at putting them at the bottom too, always willing to give things a try at least one (well some things lol ;))

that´s really beautiful! Concrete (very characteristic) SLoB-style again :D

agree with Kev to mirror the vertical lines (VU´s I guess) for a better total look, unless the left one expands upwards and the right one downwards.

What I would change thou are the engravings of close, min and pl buttons. I think they don´t fit to the rest cause they are too clean, could have more crude patina.

green is great! To me this very yellowish green is always somewhat toxic (maybe because the last thing coming out of someone after too much alcohol is that color) so i would name it something toxic.

curious for next versions

Thanks Mudslung, heh i wish :)

here's one idea going forward from above, might well do a couple of versions/ideas, it lends itself to even more depth/possible bigger area used underneath for buttons etc. but this is a nice size atm
