this thing rocks my nuts. i have never seen anything more universal (as far as color schemes and etc) and nothing more cool than this. rock on.

Great idea, but not perfectly exacuted. It's oringinal, uses tranparency oringinally, but, sometime transparency can really suck if you do not have a matching background.

Definitely original, never seen anything quite like it. Fun on colourful wallpapers.

Ugh... The "untransparent" parts are somewhat boring...

This gets a high score for originality and total cleverness. Doesn't look to bad but not the best skin I have ever seen as far as aisthetics go. Still, a fine piece of work dude - actually using it now. Well done.

The transparency is a great idea, but the rest is a bit dull.

i like the way some thnigs look... a lot of my windows backgrounds are dark, so it looks very nice on that. the rating should be updated, it does look better than the original by far!

Can we get a re-review for the public rating. I can (sorta) understand a 48 for version 1.0, but surely not 4.0 =b

It's a great skin. I used to use it all the time.

I love this skin. Improve the buttons and EQ and I'll raize the score.

phule says:

good start. I think this idea can be expounded upon and definetly get some consistancy between the EQ and the playlist...version 2 of this skin could be very cool.

I think he did a great job. A new and interesting use of transparency. And if you whine about it, make one yourself.

Do that transparency crap to the EQ and PL

MeDiOn says:

This is the fuckin' coolest skin ever .. looks SO amazing on the Litestep Thug Life theme.

Avatar-50x50

Transparancy is cool, but i think that the EQ and PL need a little work. Other that that, cool.

It really isn't that great

BMad says:

Excellent use of transparency. Complex yet not overstyled. EQ could be better. It needs a spot on the titlebar for grabbing and moving.

make playlist transparent too

godflush says:

very fuckin' sweet. love the transparency, but i dont really like the playlist. good winshade mode, and very cool on a dark screen. even werks over windows grey. and do you have any idea how hard it would be to do the transparent chessboard thing? that would take hours

DukE says:

Yes, I've dowloaded the similar skin from the www.winamp.com and I like it, realy - this is the current skin on my winamp. The idea of making winamp half-transparent is great. If Calpo'll try to make transparent pixel grid like the chessboard, it'll be much smoother and the best skin.

DoorinD says:

answer me a question... if youre going to go to all that trouble of the excellent transparency and just the thinking up of such an original idea, why not take the time to go ahead and make some decent buttons? if youre going to do all that then you have to make the rest of the skin look good. smooth it out, make it more consistent, and put together some buttons (dont jack any fusion stuff anymore it look like crap) and then at least the main will be enough for a much better rating.

Wow! I can not belive the originality! Reminds me of a projected hologram screen

Avatar-50x50

Nice idea, but the top part is horrible!

Cloud 9 says:

Nice use of transparency. Unfortunately, this is the single ugliest skin I've ever seen!

Avatar-50x50

Very cool idea. Transparent areas are pretty hard to see over a white background. This skin receives a 60 solely on the merit of it's main window, the EQ and PL skins are pretty plain and unchanged from the default, especially the PL which isn't changed at all. Good work though, very promising skin design with a lot of room for improvement and evolution.

Seifer says:

Actually, you can see the stuff in the 'clear' part perfectly if it's over something darker, obviously. I tried it and it worked...but you can't see it over white at all. The EQ and playlist look pretty much like the base skin though. And why's gllen using a flat eq setting now? if it's normal, it's red and yellow and green and stuff instead of that dark green.

Avatar-50x50

This gets a great score for originality - it may not be visible or practical in all cases, but it's a good idea and its different.

...very different...playlist and equaliser pretty much the same though...
