ON and DOWN picture...

I like this alot.
One thing I allways look for in a skin though is that the media control butons are at the bottom and in the same spot on every screen. Makes things a lot more uniform and easy to use.
Really, it think it is an awsome concept, RUN WITH IT do not walk or crawl. I really want to see this thing in action.

also on your buttons, dont make the whol button glow. I like how you added a glare feature to the icons. Maybe try adding the glare when they are selected instead of glowing the whole button. This would be cool
My 2 cents anyway

Thanks for suggestion,
I have to agree with you: I love bottom buttons because I have to push them without looking everytime at the screen and the border of screen is usefull to this pourpose

Also I'm trying to change from a picture to another just what is necessary, so that the same buttons are always (or when possible) in the same positions..

I didn't put play control on this picture, like I did with volume control, because I use it just as a menu where you go when you want to change application or to power off PC.

I love that glares, at first I used them in the DOWN picture, but a single glare was not much visible, on the contrary glowing buttons seem too heavy, but a single one seems to me not too much...

Anyhow, if you'll not changed your mind when you'll see it working and other guys are of the same opinion I'll be happy to find another way to glow pushed buttons

what I have seen a lot of lately is skinners are using two menu skins to keep the clutter down, but still take advantage of all the features RR offers. This may make it easier for you to keep the bottom buttons and not have to slim down the features.

WoW, the audio player is also SWEET! This is a VERY nice looking skin!!!!

One though to overcome your glowing buttons in the down position, a thought at least.... is to put the "Off" icons on top of the button, so the icons are not masked out. This way the whole button would glow the way it does now in the down position, but the icons would still be clearly visable.

Again, this is an amazing looking skin, and this is just a suggestion.
