The layout's cool and I like the two colors, I don't think this needs much to be a nice skin, maybe bump the contrast up some to brighten the buttons. I like to do most of my stuff matte, so this is just something I often need to remind myself also...

I really like the somewhat ceramic/aluminum look you've got going. :)

Throw in a bit more contrast somewhere, it's a little too gray methinks.

a pop up vis panel on the bottom (or top) could be nice... :)

looks much better btw, I'm glad you made it more polished...I didn't want to mention it but you figured it out on your own and for that im happy :P

but I still have some quarrels...like the speakers...they have a highlight on the top that indicate (to me) that they have protruding (coming at you) glass on them. When with speakers they should be open to allow sound out. So I propose you change them to look more like they recede (go away from you perspective-wise) by keeping the bevel and emboss on the outer edge and put a "shadow" or "dark region" where your current highlight is just on the lighter gray inner part.

Also I think the bevel and emboss has a bit too much "depth" meaning the highlights and shadows are either too contrasting in color/opacity or the contour is too high, if the contour is default then your depth is too high making your highlight blocky on a smooth surface.

Besides those I think it looks great and I think you should see it to the finish :D

Dave :D

Thanks for great feedback!

xonenine: Sure there will be a menu.. All my skins have a "plus-menu" ..
- I will also make the skin in bar-mode..

logokas: Your right.. I will change that.

Jikaru: Im never releasing a skin before i think its Perfect ;)
Your right with the speakers upper reflex.. I'll try to make them more "realistic"..
And the rest.. I'll do my best ..
