Just my take on teh Metallic skin, with some bits of EHM thrown into it. Pretty much all graphics are created from scratch by me. All you need to know is in the readme.

Comments, suggestions and constructive critisism is appreciated.

As always with the skins you produce, it is graphically flawless - of professional standard.

I like the back/next/searchbox/continue layout at the bottom too, very nice.

However I can't help but feel a tad underwhelmed. After Elegance (which I presumed was your take on the metallic style) I was expecting something with a little more bite and a style of its own, such as the way you followed the FM skin with the Tabuled skin for CM.

I'm not really talking major XML changes either, just the graphical flair and originality I have come to expect from a JA Skin.

Its not a negative comment on what is easily one of the better skins (rather those that seem to get pumped out 2-3 a week), just more a slight whimper that you haven't taken FM skins anywhere that new.

I agree with everything you said. This is hardly anything revolutionary and it's not intended to be. Elegance was indeed my take on the metallic style and I never intended to do another one

I started this skin last friday after downloading the EHM 2005 beta demo, at first I was just gonna keep it to myself but as I got further into working on it I decided to release it anyway. I did think twice about it, because as you said, I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt etc. etc.

But after a while I decided to release it as there's always some people out there who might like it.

I've had a few WIP's at susie which are far more 'revolutionary' and different from the original skin. Those will follow shortly and hopefully they won't disspoint in terms of originality.

Love this.

One thing for future skins, could you include the advanced player stats screen in your next skins? It's exemplified in the Refreshed skin, currently.

I love the way you've put the search bar, back and continue buttons. I have yet to see a skin made by you that I don't like. The skin does remind of Elegance and I think the WIP's at susie look even more promising. But this is just a very good skin, again.

I really like this skin, but too pale for my liking though however that does make it easier on the eye.

JA as usually love your skin, am using it right now and am very impressed! How can i change this to a left handed version, simple case of deleting Global Panels again ?
And where can i see your other WIPs?
