Just a small screenshot!

Not finished though but I wanted to ask you if the colors are fine(in the middle screen).

The three dots that you see on the left upper corner(not rasterized yet) are blue
and the round thing in the screen is animated.

looks good ForceField :)

perhaps try and smooth some of the jaggies a little on the cbutton panel and the frame corners

perhaps also add in some colour layers to cycle through for some things?

can help with that if needed

You already helped SloB.I checked your Xion default skin.This skin is a treasure map for us. :wink:

I just added several layers that can be switched by the button above the cbuttons.

However I had a problem with the extra info layer.You know,in my skins I always make a layer that can be hidden and shown by a button(in this skin,the button bellow the cbuttons).This layer has also a transparent layer just like the main but when I tried to add the color animation,after hiding and opening it again,the layers were not shown.
So I guess this only works for permanent layers.

One of my favorite places to find names for skins and such is Wikipedia, a list such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metals or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_alloys tends to be really helpful :D
