Wow! Looks great.
Really beautiful. Lots of shading details. I like that.
Don't tease our impatience

Very nice!

I might have to give your Eclipse skin a rest to try it out when it becomes available.

Jim

Very nice!

WOW! Good job, man!
It'll look great with MonkeyFlow!

Very nice and stylish. But those round corners...sharp corners would be much sleekish maybe in NOIR 2?

Greetings

Thanks people for the nice words ,you can test it now ,see first post.

Yes ,this skin is also designd to look nice with monkey flow

DreadM:

It looks real good but I am still in love with Eclipse and I have yet to find a dark skin to diminish my love for it.

Nyn

Thx for providing us with all these beautiful skins:)

Ps: do you sport dreadlocks? I ask this because of your nick.

Whoa! This is freakin' amazing! Well done Dread!


Now we need a matching MonkeyRok skin.

Now we need a matching MonkeyRok skin.

And a Lyrics and Comment Viewer skin.

The animated dark and basic dark MonkeyRok Skins go fairly well. Not great, but well enough for now.

Edit: And if you open the skin.css file in the skin and search for 373737, change it to 000000, the skin looks even better.


Edit #2: Dread, I'm getting this white square occasionally (and it only seems to be when windows explorer is open first):






Weird ....

@vyper:(2)

dreadm and vyper that is the nc image on the theme image map just make it black and it will go away.
but it is better to have it slightly different in color, that is used to show where it would be best to grab the
window border to move it.
and to fill in where two scroll bars meet.
check the image map i posted on the wiki for the newbies walkthrough. you will see where it is located at to change it.
