Dude it kicks you know what :) I like the design :) Will it be named Bionic ? ;) My suggestion is: "Skin it"!

EDIT:
Maybe you should move disk/optical drive/folder selection buttons in vertical line as iAVS/Chest/Standard Shield buttons so they look a bit more ordered. Otherwise incredible skin :)

hmmm... I don't know, that was my first version, but I didn't like it... You see, those three buttons (local disk, removable media and folder selection) behave little bit different than first three buttons, so I wanted to separate them a little... and I like that good looking shadow under local disk button, on yellow area... It's a Bionic skin, chemical skin - there shouldn't be order...  ;D

How about this one ? People help me which one do you wanna see on your desktop ?

I have always liked a little order in my life, I prefer the first option, but it's a close run thing.

Yeah, I know... I really like first one much better... It looks much more Bionic...  ;D

P.S. Thanks for HELP button advice DavidR, I'll see what I can do...

OK, this is update... DavidR asked me if I can make HELP button "?" little bigger and more noticeable, 'cause many new users feel lost and they can't find some basic help just because HELP button is kinda hidden. They ask those questions in forums, but if we can answer those simple questions immediately just by making larger QUESTIONMARK sign, why not to do that...

Here is my answer for this skin...

Great piece of art Sasha ! Congratulations !!!
Between the 2 skins i think i prefere the second because the functions are grouped more logically. And for even more clarity, i would place the a-ball, the chest and the update on upper center panel to keep only on-demand scanning functions on a separate panel. Also, the "Menu" item should be more noticeable. For the 3 little icons on the upper right, i prefere the first version but perhaps with a green hallow (as the play and stop buttons).

Thanx for this skin, this is the one i was talking about in a previous post (i don't remember the thread).  ;D

That looks much better and does draw the eye, great work.

Something like this in attachment ? It's already done, and I sent it to Vlk. This is the version you'll find in skins download section... Resident scanner button (circle with "a" in it) is different than the others just because I wanted to show you second button state (mouse over)... animations are so smooth and button transitions also...

Sorry, but those 3 buttons (help, minimize, close) were so ugly and unnoticeable in the first version. I've got few complains that it would be much better if at least help button is more visible... we must think of new avast! users. So, I made new version and I think this one is final...
