I love the transition to the EQ. I wish the font was easier to read.

jkrzok is right, EQ transition is excelent!! (even more than it is in default skin). - 8 in my rating for the font, sometimes it's really hard to read. Beside that, very good skin.

Brilliant Skin! Love it! The font tho is a little difficult to read sometimes on the main player, but when its flashing in the playlist and goes black it's much easier to read. Perhaps make it display like that on the main player.

99 because nothing is completely perfect...only quiblble is that its small on 1600 by 1200 :) ....Amazing, jaw dropping eq transition. ....almost looks anti-aliased. Hail to regener8ed!!!....thought that you might have abandoned qcd skinning, but I was pleasently surprised!!!..Also it needs color schemes!!

Technically awesome. You really pimped the system.

The font is a little hard to read, but okay. Needs some color schemes as chicubs said.

I really really like the design of the skin, but I just can't read the font for my life. Also, it would be nice if the playlist were where the equalizer currently is - it would be nice to have the playlist somehow more closely integrated into the player, as I use the playlist much more than the equalizer. Otherwise, though, it's impeccable.

Very interesting skin. I agree with the idea of play list must replace the eq place, the font is hard to read and needs a close button and minimise button. But as i said its an interesting skin.

Beautiful artwork and shading. Very good job of "showing off" what QCD can do skin-wise. Would love some themes and min/close buttons, but those won't stop me from using this skin!! (also fits really well with the default XP Silver style) Kudos!

Ohh my god! This gets my vote as best graphic so far. Not the most practical skin, but wow anyway! Like all others I fell in love as soon as I found the EQ... :-)

Nice, but could be better. Text was too light for one.
 hedge on April 27th, 2004 11:05pm Rating: 93 
Yep, this is really one awesome skin (apart from the font, but i'm sure you've heard that enough by now ;) )

O.o the eq... you know what i want to say ;) very nice skin though the highlight on the the top of the green plastic looks a bit strange but other than that great skin
 zminos on May 22nd, 2004 11:42pm Rating: 90 
I like it, and agree with others about the eq and the text readability... awesome apart from that and as a request, some colour schemes? :)

Not much I can say that hasn't already been said. The illegibility of the font takes it off my list of skins, but the E.Q. transition earned you a high score. I'd love it if the main "pod" were resizable as well, but I really dig the overall vibe.

holy shit man i only just discovered the encoder ha ha ha wicked transitional effects going on there mate COPPERPLATE GOTHIC LIGHT font looks the best in this skin to me. also this skin helped me realise i could have different fonts for different skins which is one of the cooler things since sliced bread are we going to get colours?

This is a really cool skin. I love the way the equailizer pops out, of course! That's so so neat! I just sat here clicking it back and forth for a while, heh.

Though I do see a lot of ways this skin could improve. Remember that I really enjoy this skin, so these are some things that could be worked on only if you wanted.

First of all, the text is really difficult to read. I like the idea a lot, but it's just too hard to read. As a really minor critique, it'd be nice if while the EQ came out the background was gray to match the skin. The black just kind of looks very out of place, and not part of the skin.

This suggestion would actually kind of change the skin a bit. But one thing I really actually dislike in this skin, and skins like these, is the playlist being in a seperate window. It's especially bothersome in this one in particular because of the way the EQ works. It just shows that this skin is capable of having a Playlist integrated into the skin itself. I'd love to see one of the gray buttons above the Controls open the Equalizer like it does now, and then the other one to open the Playlist in the exact same manor that the EQ comes out. That would be so much more slick and would allow the skin make more use of itself (and make it more symmetrical) if that sounds right. It just seems like sort of a waste to have this really nice skin, and then a playlist pop over in a square to the side of it when it's capable of having it within it.

This would also allow for the "open/close" thing to be removed from the bottom, and then that could be smoothed out a bit more. Then you could make a Toggle Vis button right under the actual vis within the display window. That could look neat.

I'm not a real big skinner, I must add, so if these things aren't possible, then I really do apologize. If they can't be done, you've done a great job with the limitations!

Oh yeah... one more thing I noticed... I need to close QCD somehow. Am I missing the close button?

Color schemes would be nice, as chicubs said, but I'd rather see a few other things be done first. But anyway, please don't take those comments as discouraging comments. I honestly do enjoy this skin among your other work. Nice skin, and very nice use of the new 4.50 features! Congratulations!

- Darin

Has potential, but it's unreadable.
