Which skin type you prefer?

[Lordtwisted]

I too like the graphical look of Lightman's skins. I admire the amount of time Lordtwisted has invested into "Forever Metal" but I would never use it. Actually, lately I have been happy with the latest Slider (v0.10.0) skin, after a few tweaks that is.

jhollin1138,

amount of time  one week I made it months ago. almost the begining of todayplus. What time are you talking about. I don't care if you use it or not. It would be pretty hard to use it since i never posted it.

In a skin there are two things I like on permanent display my poom section and a quick launch bar (not necessarily the full launcher). Below is a list of my preferences and what other plugins these features replace:

1. Quick Launch (always visible) - replaces tdLaunch
2. POOM details (always visible) - replaces tAgenda
3. Battery/Memory/Storage meters - replaces BatMemTime/TodaysInfo
4. Date/Time
5. Weather
6. Calendar
7. RSS feeds - helps overcome avantgo 2mb limit
8. Owner Info - Owner Info X

I also prefer tabbed skins and have standardised on the OSX Complete skin with a few minor modifications as this has all of the above (except owner info - which I am undecided about its usefulness on the Today screen) by default  and just suits my sense of the aesthetic.

Top
-always active
-date
-t+ icons

Middle ~1/4 screen
-zero or one of the following
-user info on device powerup
-weather (1 or 2 is enough for me)
-timezones (clocks, text list for more cities)
-memory/battery (using the nice icons please:-)

Bottom 2/3 screen (or whatever is available to fill screen)
-zero or one of the following
-agenda (agenda, tasks only, appts only)
-OR RSS (long list, full text description)

Very bottom
-one row of always active launcher icons (10 at least), (I don't like the tabbed way, prefer maybe a popup list to change sections)

Sorry, missed this post.

I didn't mean to offend you.  I do admire the amount of time you have invested into "Forevermetal."  You may not have had allot of time on your part, but time is time.  Besides, if I had done it myself it would have taken me months to get graphics done.  I am not graphically gifted like Lightman, juni, yourself and others.

I realize you never posted it.  Had you, I would have given it a try, more to see how it looks and how you did it.  I personally wouldn't have switched to it.  I prefer a simple less complex look.  It is not that I don't like the skin.  It is just not my style.

Again, I am sorry if I offended you.  My statement was intended to show my respect for your abilities.
