Looking good... shame Flash doesnt use Directx then you could have 3D effects when using the right card.

In the mean time what you have done looks amazing... well done.

This skin is outstanding and although it lags some in the car it's definately worth the wait. One question about the color chooser - where's the white and greys? Sometimes I just want high contrast and white on your black background isn't an option right now.
Keep up the great work!

Not much, but it's working great on this machine.

I will add black and white on the chooser thanks for the comments also :-)

This skin is a real cpu eater so I think the M10000 wont just cut it.. good job i'm running a sempron 3000+ and a gig of memory :-)

i tested on my 1ghz 512MB IBM. Just barely usable. No way it'll run on a M10000

all i got to say this skin is amazing...

i love it... to bad i doubt my MII12000 will handle it... guess i gotta go upgrade to that mobile athlon ive been wanting to for a while

I know how intensive it is and have to cut back on lots of effects I wanted to do, in the end I decided that even though there are lots of M10000 users this was no reason not to produce a skin for the others. Also having a 3000+ Sempron myself ment I could get the most out of my system.

Why all these new comers are going for the low end miniITX boards is beyond me.. ok if you havent got enough room then fair enough, but most of the installs I've seen have ample space for a microatx board. .and these with cpu's are still cheaper then a m10000.. like my 3000+ (1.7) was. It offers way more power and just makes the whole carpc alot more pleasing to use. Dont be a SHEEP.. thats all I can say.. lol

hmmm sorry where was I.. errr cant remember O well will have another part done tomorrow, most likely the video / video browser :-)
