My latest skin,

which will be released when the new version of Xion comes out (as I imagine a bunch of other skins will be).

This one is meant to be used when listening to Internet radio. The blue bar on the left side is tied to the network buffer - the bigger the bar, the more the buffer is filled. There's no track skip button because there's not much track skipping when listening to radio.

Any and all opinions are welcome - I was thinking of making a thinner version as well - to fit better into the title bar. Do you think it's worth it?

Looks neat.
One thing I'd do is take the effects off of the blue parts.

You mean just leave them flat blue? It looks pretty plain & flat then - I'm trying to give it a little more depth.

Thanks for the input though.

add a highlight layer
also sort of inner shadow to give the edges a bit of depth

What do you mean by highlight layer? Do something to give it a whole beveled look? Or were you thinking more of the type of highlight you see in the central black part of the default skin?

Where would you suggest I add inner shadows?
