Made this skin to go with the Rainlendar application I've been using. It's a pretty small and unremarkable skin, but I just wanted something to fit in with my desktop! :)

Very nice. Although I think the volume and progress bars are too thin.

They're actually bigger... i made an invisible extension around them so they're at least 3 pixels instead of 1. They're pretty easy to pick on!

I imagined that you did something like that. I mentioned it from a aesthetic point of view that they are too thin.

yes, it appears thin, therefore from a user perspective the catchment area is envisaged as thin therefore making it look to be not user friendly to select
where as if it looked thicker then it looks easier to select

its still a design consideration to make imo, altho once users have used the skin a small while then it becomes more or less unnoticeable
