You've got to be kidding me. Resize it to like 10% of what it is.

heh its not that size yet skry ;)

but a few things u need to fix imo
songticker and timer not accessible to change timer/see songinfo
cbuttons & winbutton(shade) need rectangular selection area (merge a 1% white square transparent layer which is underneath) so that the area is bigger, atm its possible to click inbetween the gap on pause for example
timer wants to be a bit bigger imo
thers minimal glare on the X, looks as tho it could do with some light and dark highlights to help give it some depth

Don't try to patronize me, boy. You provided a preview with the skin taking up more than half of my screen of course I'm going to say to resize it. It's common sense.

ya its common sense !

of course... but the preview is not the same as the skin...

and i did not find it so huge !

i don't know what your screen resolution is... mine is 1280*1024... so i made something that looks good to me... does that make sense !

Ah, see, I had not known that the skin was smaller than the preview itself. I run 1280*1024 usually. I think It's always important for a preview to represent how the skin is when you load it up. I used to make non-preview-previews where it was just a pretty image, and I got a lot of angry notes (and fewer people visited my skins). So, I'm sorry for being a dick without actually downloading the skin itself and seeing how it is.

About the skin, it reminds me a lot of Winston's Ebonite skin, which isn't a bad thing. I'm not sure aobut the spiffy Xion logo on the left side, it might look better if it were greyscaled with the rest of the image.

^^^ aahh... ok... i never mind anything... so just forget whatever stupidity that happened above...
