Looks good to me. Just downloaded it to add to my collection.
Good font choice, that Square one should look good at whatever resolution and the one used on the overlay too.
There's nothing wrong with it at all. Clean and relatively simple, good job.
Only thing I might have done differently is not leave it at that.
When I have a skin idea it tends to evolve into new versions with more features. I've edits of skins which in some case goes to twenty or more variations, changing colours, fonts, adding other sources etc etc.
I always have difficulty knowing when to stop evolving an idea as there is always something that can be done better or differently.

For sure. I'm sure I'll end up tweaking this more. After numerous revisions I had finally gotten it to a place where I was happy with it/could use it as my main squeeze.
Thanks for the feedback my man.

(I hope this topic isn't dead) but great skin! I'm interested in starting to make themed skins to provide to the community and have done some initial research. Do you mind sharing the tools you are using to build skins so I(and others) can possibly level-up? Thank you!

Hey there. Thanks for the kind words!
I used UXArchitect to build the skin. All the backgrounds/overlays were done with Photoshop and are just still images. I could probably dig up a link for UXArchitect. As for Photoshop, if you don't have it, something like GIMP would serve the same purpose, but is free.
