thank you slamp for your response, that was i was looking forward to, even if it was bad
not yet actually, i am excited about testing the jquery lightbox of Afwas entirely, but i couldnt have time to yet..
i didnt test the skin with white or any other colors, it was especially for that color close to black, it is listed under blue somehow (: All the visual stuff was great as pngs however as ie6 doesnt support png transparency i ve tried to preserve it as gifs amap..
i dont claim anything good for the skin it isnt customizable enough maybe but i wanted it to be fluid esp. as i hate resolution differences, may be i ll update it with better icons, more customizable and a more organized and filtered css later on
1) Your header image could do with being wider, at my res it almost looks like a logo ( nice image, but a tad narrow )
2) You might like you move the blog title into the header image ( harder to balance colours, but looks a tad "tacked on" at the moment )
3) You might like to add some margins to the page numbers at the bottom, they're a smidge tight against the borders at the moment
4) You'll be pleased to know that I like dark skins ;)
5) You may wish to re-read this feedback after learning that I've been granted the design sense of a blind guide dog :|
You can't help but have noticed that this was all about you ;)

yea but sometimes you have to make a decision, you will do it for the smart minority or the uhh.. let's call it ignorant majority using 1024, you wouldnt like to know how big it looks in 800, actually there is an alternate header image in the pack which is more universal but i ve liked this one better [/quote]

yep, some tweaks for the widgets would be nice.. especially blog tagline slides to right, but there are so many details you should consider when you dive into details, i ll consider them next time.. actually i meant to release a quickie, worked for in about 3 hours and it was ready basically but the minor adjustments take much time then the others so i had to give up somewhere (:

agreed, i already tried to add padding to the top and the bottom of page links but somehow it did not work so i gave up, but some letter spacing would be good for page links, you are right..

yea i like them too, but white always wins as most of the pics and other multimedia has white background : P

i like to hear from you and everybody else.. i dont mean anything special, it's just a regular skin but if people use/like it, i can make another release with some improvements later on. thank you all for your recommendations and feedback ;)
and one last thing, it's the tiniest detail but the most thing i like was that feedback icon which fits both with skin and b2 style (:

No further improvements are made, just 2nd sidebar is added, so i am not going to submit it to skin list, but feel free to add it..
I like this dark design.

the logo on left seems to display better on white background.
