Added skin.ini to each skin directory for easy switching. Please let me know if I screwed this up... I was working from 5 different directories and I may have mixed and matched.
Added .psd for the network icon, in case anyone wants to screw around with it.
Im working on a new version that integrates the progress bar into the icon... does anyone have a set of arrow shapes for PS7? My arrows are looking like hell. 
Comments, suggestions and requests welcome.
Here is my mac port, for my pleasure only.

Great job DZ
New version may not be out for a few days - I just got hit with a ton of work.
Okay I have to post in here because this is bothering me. In a release by Lou, you pulled his avetunes skins because of this:
This skin, although the graphics were created from 'scratch', still violates US and international copyright law which states that "derivative works" -- works based or derived from another copyrighted work -- is the exclusive province of the owner of the original work.For example, you cannot make an 'original' icon of Mickey Mouse and expect to retain control of 'your' icons - the image still falls under Disney's liscense, even though you put the work into creating it 'from scratch'.
Thread Closed. Link Removed.

Now forgive me if I'm wrong, but your skin is entirely derived from the Weather widget, except it has an FTP icon and different text. And the FTP icon is clearly derived from the Network icon from the Mac, whether you created it from scratch or not.
And forgive me again if I'm wrong, but why isn't every visual style or window blinds skin based off of Panther, Tiger, or Jaguar taken down? Those skins for the Mac weren't created by some obscure entity that we refer to as "Apple". No, they were created I'm sure by a group of normal people like us, sitting in front of Photoshop all day.
Now what makes it right for us to rip skins based off of Aqua, but not from anything else? The answer is: NOTHING. Just because they are some huge billion dollar company doesn't mean that somehow it's okay to rip their stuff. Normal people still created the stuff on OS X we use, whether we know who they are or not.
The reason I'm posting this is because I'm sick of all this copyright crap. If you're going to be strict about it, then you have to be strict about it on everything that violates copyright law, not just what YOU think violates it.
I have to agree with this....
It's a dispute, which have no end (or I just can't see it...).
We can't emulate Aqua without rip of MacOS X. That's why we all here. Prove me wrong...
My point of view on this problem consists in the following: we can rip Apple's icons without any remorse, because it's a big company and they're making big money on their work, but our work must be free. And we can not rip works of people, who do his art just for the art and share it with us without any hint at gain. And we must respect it.
Anyway, riping anything means violating copyright law, and we should keep it in mind.
/Maybe, it's not right, but it's my vision of this situation at this moment...

Now that I don't agree on. You can't selectively pick who you can infringe copyright on. That's like saying "It's okay if you use pirated versions of Windows, because Microsoft is a big multi-billion dollar company so it's not going to hurt them".
And the fact of the matter is, Arlo rose doesn't share his works or "his art just for the art and share it with us without any hint at gain". He charges a good $25 for both the PC and Mac versions of Konfabulator. I'm sure his company has made a pretty penny from that software.
The point is, you can't say it's okay to rip "person/company X's work" and not okay to rip "person/company Y's work"... that's just not right. Copyright infringement is copyright infringement, no matter how large/small the company or person is. If Apple wanted to, they could easily stop the entire modding scene here for what we have done, but I think they have come to realize that it is all in good spirit, and many people here currently own Macs due to this community.
My main arguement is that Deadzombie pulled the links for Lou's skins due to copyright infringement, while the very FTP skin he made CLEARLY infringes on copyrights not only from Apple but from Konfabulator as well.
I'm agree with every word in the post above. Specially, with thing, why this place still exist ;D
I'm just tryin' to say, that you can use Apple's icons, if it is all just for EyeCandy.
And you use them for fun. Not for making money or smth.
You can live without it, but if it's brings you a little piece of joy...
Of course, it's violating copyright law, but it's forgivable.
I'm telling this from the position of common human. I hate blind legalism.
Added: Please, don't get me wrong. I, also, hate when someone takes somebody's work & and tells that it was made by him. Credits is a key word here.
So ****ing leave already. I get so sick of you self-rightous pricks sticking your nose in someone elses business. If Arlo wants to take my ass to court for whipping up a derative work of his Weather widget background in photoshop, thats none of your business.
Don't like what we do here? Don't visit. Go get a hobby that doesnt involve you being a know-it-all prick.
And by the way, using Apples icons DOES NOT violate copyright law. Thats protected under fair use. Distributing them or using them in a public manner, or creating and distributing derivative works of them does violate copyright. God I wish some of you people would get your heads out of your asses long enough to at least Google a copy of the international copyright law documents and READ them.
Anyone care to argue my fine points? Because I'm sick of people registering, taking taking taking, then getting a stick up their holier than thou ass and trying to tear this place down.
Better people have tried and failed, and I wasn't even in a bad mood with them. Bring it on.
well, i think it looks nice. good job dz, didn't know u did skin work.
I think someone missed flyakites point...
