Looks great man. The colors are creamy and the form is nice. Cool buttons as well.

Maybe I'm the only person that feels this way, but it seems like 90% of msstyles skins have too much of a winXP feel to them. What's great about OSX is that the GUI sports a minimal number of elements. WindowsXP complicates things by having 3, 4, sometimes 5 toolbars within the interface. All of these are seperated with hard looking dividers/lines. I've seen some amazing msstyles pop up over the years at sites like aqua-soft.org, but only a small handful, in my opinion, have found a way to eliminate those nasty lines in an effort to minimize the user's interface. I'm using TDK4.0_Panther (ThreeDrives, Jan 11th 2004) and it's one of the few msstyle skins which have managed to attain the most minimal and closest osx-style appearance. These are small details which come down to preference, but I honestly think that if you were to take opus smooth and take out menu, winflag, address bar, and other ugly "busyfying" elements to the design, you'd have a truly refreshing and unique looking GUI stepping well away from the XP style we're all trying to actually get away from.

I'm off on a bit of a ramble. I guess my frustration stems from annoying dividers/lines. They can seriously make or break a person's goal in going completely osx looking. I'd love to have some kind of knowledge in skinning where I can edit an existing msstyle and make the basic step of eliminiting those ugly "windows-95-like" divers! :rant:

Ok, my rant is over. Ya'll can go back to discussing this beautiful skin in progress :D
