Here is my skin so far, this is my first skin, so I would appreciate some input. I making this skin mainly for myself, but would also like to upload it, so if others like it then they are more than welcome.

I had to shrink the image down a bit to upload onto the website so the qualitys a little low, and it might be tough to read but at least it gives you the idea

VERY nice. Can all the blue areas be changed with the color converter? Can't wait to try it.

I don't know about the color converter, but I plan on making a couple color variations, if there are certain colors you are looking for, just let me know.

I post this only because of the opportunity to do so, not because I believe my preferences are relevant.

Your skin is beautiful (something I say to my wife on a regular basis), but I would find no use for it. That being said, I do not like 99.9% of all skins. What may be pleasing to the eye is wasteful in terms of data processing. I want the greatest amount of information available in a single glance. The dark frame around the player controls portion is wasteful of screen space. But, it looks marvelous.

My preferred skin is the OfficeXP one, but I do not use it with QuiMP because it does not include the Media Library.

I do install almost all of the skins, though. Soon after, I uninstall and archive them. I do this to encourage my wife and son to play QuiMP - development of music appreciation.

Nice skin mate. Very few skins appeal to me, but this one looks great.

I know what you mean man, I've been looking over my skin, and thinking about how I can get all the info I can and get rid of some of the unwanted space. So the picture above may not be the final version, but is close to what I want. I'll keep everyone posted.

Thank you all for the input and kind words :silly:

Thanks a lot guys. I made a skin very similar to what I posted, but it was a first skin, learning the ins and outs of qcd, But it was very small and was a good learning experience. So I plan on releasing this one when I get it just how I want it, but as it is now, is going very slowly. I have pretty much the whole skin laid out but toying with a few things here and there. But thank you all for the input, I really appreciate it. :silly:

I like it a lot only the display is light grey and is therefore hard to read. Good job mate!
