Very creative and unique skin! :)

You should maybe mention that the fullscreen skin is only working properly if the screen resolution is 1680x1050 ;).


One more tip: If you rename your "Install these fonts!" folder to just "Fonts", then the fonts will automatically installed by CAD.

Thanks, Operator.

I updated the summary with the resolutions. And I didn't realize about the font folder title, but good to know. ;)

original and unique with great attention to detail.
kinda special in its style.
in fact the skin reminds me of something.
...i just can't think about what exactly. :-\
i tend to say "little mermaid", but that wouldn't be appropriate as the skin doesn't look that cartoon-like at all.
it's definitely deep under water at a place where everything is still in order.
like in a fairytale perhaps.
in a way the skin is smiling. (doesn't make sense really, but that's how it seems to me.) ;D

...and i love the progressbar!! :D
great idea. ;)

since i'm on a 1920x1200 display setup here, i'm not able to enjoy the total fullscreen experience unfortunately.
perhaps you should indeed clarify in the skin's title that it is for 1680x1050 and 1280x1024 screen resolutions only.
but on the other hand the skin also features some regular skin styles (default, bubbly blue and tiny bubbles), so a limitation for certain screen resolutions would in a way discriminate the skin for the none-fullscreen usage on all other resolutions.

hard to say what's best here. perhaps a hint in the release notes would do it?

anyways...
...congrats on the release of such a sweet skin, Pbunny!

Awww.... thanks, OtisBee.

Yeah, actually you could just apply one of the backgrounds to your desktop and load up the desktop skin version and get the same effect. I did it that way because, while you can't please everyone, it gives people options to work with.

I could totally see a little girl's birthday party going on with The Little Mermaid soundtrack playing in this one. lol
