Artist's Note

personally, I'm getting tired of those brushed metallic skins so I decided to make something w/ different colors (some of you may not like...my guess is sondberg, Grug1999, and evil666 will not approve :) ) Fully 2.50 compliant. Named after an obscure Star Wars robot (IG 88). Check ya later.

Bright! Bold! Catchy! But can you look at it for hours?!!! Yes, if you wear sunglasses at night!!! But much praise for the original style on the bezel.

I can see why some people might not like the LCD color or the equilization buttons. I like the skin overall and took 5 points off for those two things. By the way, people who use catch phrases like "At the end of the day" and ebonic comments like "Mah Dog's Doo Doo" should not be allowed to review at this site...

Cool. Not really my colors for late night sessions, but it's nice and original and looks pretty damn good. :)

i can't understand y ppl care so much about what affect the skin has on a person... so long as it rocks... that's all i care about... and this definately does!!! GOOD STUFF MAN!!! :)

Granted, the color is a *bit* bright for everyday use, but there are times when it's just what you need for a pick-me-up...and as I live with it for a little while, it's growing on me! :) The detail is very nice - I like the curves in the main window, I like the way the buttons work, and the cool little font is a nice touch. Overall nifty!

splacko17 says:

first off, I was gonna say 100 for the Star Wars reference as the title. But then since IG-88 is Boba Fett's enemy, and since Boba Fett rules, I would've chopped the score in half, but then that wouldn't have been fair. So I'll give the skin a 85.

pinoyjigga wtf has your dog been eating? anyway, nice skin, personally, i too am tired of the brushed/rusted metal look..... colors work well (though they can be a bit bright)

axelay says:

I personally like this skin. The colors set it apart from others, and takes a path less taken. Which more authors should try out =). H O J U, you did great my friend, keep up the good work. I know what you mean by your last comment, easy to be a critic, hard to design. Im definately keeping this skin in my rotation. =)

Not only is the skin beautiful, but the windowshade mode sets the tone for all other skins IMO

Definatly kicks butt. I dont know what TekHed is talking about. If the world was run by people like him the world wouldnt have any creativity.

h o j u says:

well, geez, sorry for showing a little originality. People like you get on my nerves. Oh the colors, oh the pain, oh it hurts! Cut the crap, man. According to people like you grey and dark grey skins are the only ones which should exist. I would, at the same time, thanks all the people who gave a good mark for the skin, at least you guys have some taste. You know, the art of skinning isn't going to anywhere unless skinners try new ideas and, yes, new colors. Don't let people like Tekhed, sondberg and Evil666 bring you down (it should be noted that none of these guy s\could skin a decent skin if their life depended on it). It's hard to make a great skin. It's easy to be a critic.

TekHed says:

The design is nice and incorporate some original ideas. The colours, however are too aggresive and could be damaging to the retina through sustained use. For people who load playlists and then don't see the app for an hour or more this would be O.K., but for anyone who is regularly looking at the interface, it would need to be toned down. At the end of the day there is little point in having well designed skins that aren't going to be looked at, hence the low score.

Clumzy says:

I hurts me to see people dis this skin. It is solid, creative, colorful, isn't just more of the goth bullshit and isn't more steal and digital stuff (reality, vampiria, keville [which I actually like]). This is easily one of the best out there.

Oooooooh....Aaaaaaah!

I might have used different colors....but that's just my preference. As for the design, it's one of the more appealing ones I've seen. Keep up the good work!

LordE says:

i hate to be the one that ruins a score, so i wont, but i wanted to comment. -the orange is damn bright, but in combination with that dark blue it looks pretty damn good. where's the problem?..the lighter blue. I think that throws off the whole look. Something less aqua and more turquoise if you must use a lighter blue, but a slightly lighter shade of the blue used would be the way i'd do it.

Barta says:

not so good.....

Avatar-50x50

It looks awesome.. except for the orange. My eyes can't handle that much orange.. Other than the orange I'd have to say a 100% But.. orange man.. why orange?

Wow... Really cool look you have going there. I didn't like the colors at first, but they kinda grow on you. It's complex enough to be interesting but simple enough to be attractive... Nice work!

Love the skin. Great use of colors. But it loses 25 points because of lack of compatability with other shit on my desktop =P

Avatar-50x50

Almost perfect. Some of the text is a little tough to read. The volume/balance buttons are a bit difficult to decipher. Definitely something that stands out from the chrome/dark/gothic standard fare.
