Looks cool! As far as 'something missing'... maybe a background piece behind the buttons? Just a suggestion. :)

Hey guys, this will be my first post 'round here.

I'm amazed by the high quality skins I've seen here, they ooze quality :shock:

I'm currently developing a skin based on a media player I made for a client's website long ago, it still lacks loads of functionality since the original was only meant to play sequentially a playlist, it had no more than play controls, still, due to Xion being so easy to skin, I think I'll finish it in no time. :D

Comments are welcome.

It's a little on the big side.

Aye, its primary function was to display video. Been using it the whole evening and is VERY obtrusive, guess I need to add some winshade mode or something like that. :oops:

This is the first Skin for anything I've ever tried. I decided I didn't want to go and make one from scratch for my first attempt so I just remodelled the "Default Thin" skin into a tiny 200 x 100

FYI I've only been using Xion a week or so at the most, which is another reason I didn't want to go and make an extravagant skint. I like it though!

Cool, keep it up! You'll find Xion is so much easier to skin than any other application!

Looks pretty nice. Some of the things could flow together a little more coherently but all around it's looking sharp.

I agree with Slob. You also might think about making the seekbar be less 2-tone.

Also, reflections are never that far apart. :twisted:

if something is floating in mid-air, the reflection looks like this, believe me ;)

I'd type up a huge thing about realism being important and how objects just don't float, but eh.
