Looks nice, like just about all your others.
One minor criticism -- if I'm looking at it right, the numbers at the top and the lower-right are "decor" rather than working data, am I correct? What's the likelihood that a user might find those confusing?
Best, and keep up the great work,
Mike
Thanks Mike ! You are 100% right, those data are just cosmetic thing, but I tried to make skin without those and believe me it was awful... believe me, you wouldn't like the final result either. I tried to make that skin look like LCARS as much as it's possible... It is very possible that somebody can find it confusing, but I believe that this skin falls into those "gamey" skins group, not "serious" ones, so those who decide to use it, I believe all of them are Start Trek lovers, so they won't find it so confusing... that's just I hope...
I can make them little bit more transparent or darker than the rest of data on the screen (important scanner data).
I am open for suggestions... give me an advice what do you guys think, what should I put instead of those "moving not-moving data".

It looks pretty cool indeed!
What you could try for extra fun is play a bit with SkinBuilders sound and animation features. I.e. it would be even cooler if this skin could have the numbers changing, and also emitting the beeps (as the real LCARS and the webpage at the URL I sent you).
Thanks Vlk !
I'll try to play with those SkinBuilder features, but I think it will just enlarge the phisical size (in Kb) of whole skin... we don't want that, right ? We want something as simple as it can be, so avast! can do it's primary function without any obsticles and in the same time still look good... regarding "beeps", I don't know... most users could find it very annoying, beeping all the time while they use avast! I found it myself very annoying looking at that LCARS web site more that 5 minutes...
Numbers changing (static data areas) - sounds fine, but I have to check SkinBuilder to see is there a posibillity to make that working smooth.
I tried to play with sounds before, but I remember I had some slight problems with SkinBuiler. I use version 4.3. Now, everything works just perfect. Sounds are included in this skin and they are great !
P.S. Vlk, can you take a look under mu post at wishlist section ? Please, let me know is it possible to do that and integrate into next program update ? Thanks in advance !
