well the small screenshot looks ok, would never really use the big version
as for upgrading to l8est beta, most of us are already using it the font does not suit the skin, needs changing think about adding levels of transparency with a cycle button and you might have some people liking it cos they can have it semi transparent in vista bottom cbuttons could be raised higher and in a bit more, give them some room, its not like there is anything else going on in that area, plenty of space, let them breathe
Hello.
I would prefer as you already know the Beta 84 over the 82 version.If you are confused you can simply make two versions of this skin and put into the comment area a link that points directly to the forum's beta page. Or you can also try to put the two versions in one skin file and switch between them by clicking on a button(I never tried this but it should be 'doable' and also it would be a 'premiere'). Anyway,this is the first Xion Skin from a while(and a nice one also) and showing the new features of the Beta 84 can really boost the number of downloads I don't know if it's possible to make resizable skins in Xion but if this is the case,adding this feature can also be very nice. And.... Very Nice Name also!!!
C buttons? you mean controls right, the ones in the lower right? yeah i can raise them. maybe make them a little more transparent. Transparency can be done on the window as well..but i'm afraid i'd need a tutorial on that o.O the font can change, any suggestions? OH also the size of it in the image is the full size, "Fullscreening" isnt possible and i dont wanna guess people's resolution's to make it bigger. its just gonna stay like that.
Ok, i still have yet to add transparency, and change the text..but is this what ya ment about changing the control's placement?

yep, i reckon move the timer top right and bring the buttons bottom center
the cbuttons are more of a hotspot/focal area so deserve better placement, you've got loads of space in there so try and balance things out size and position wise think of what users will be looking for, for example cbuttons, songticker, timer, anything else yea the transparency thing with the slider would control the whole lot but if u had a button to cycle just the background transparency then that would give it more overall appeal
i figured i'd just use a simple toggle button as well..maybe solid, 75% and 50% transparency or something.
I'll move the C buttons more to the left. i was thinking of adding..something...like a animation or fancy VU in the background to "Fill it out" but i really wouldnt know what to add..i cant animate worth a shite lol.
