Tested on 3.6.5 and 3.6.7, this style is a sleek black and blue skin. Rounded catagories, side sections for affilaites and adds, also tabs for seperating different sections of your forum.

This is a pretty nice skin, and I must say that it does look very similar to another skin I've seen. However, as nice as it is, I don't believe it was ready for release yet. There are some very obvious issues that need addressing. I'm sorry if I'm too blunt, but if you want to be a designer for vB, you need to look at, and fix, these things before releasing them.
The side column is slam up against the forum/stats box/shoutbox. BIG no-no. There should be a space there of at least 5 px if not more.
The side column is also higher than the shoutbox. Did you do that on purpose? I hope not, cuz it doesn't look right. The top of the side column should always be even with the top of the first forum. This layout looks sloppy and out of place.
There is not a bit of color coordination with this skin. None. The header is a purple and black gradient, the background is medium shade of gray, and the forum is white and pale blue. It's a mishmash of color.
The forum icons are lovely, professional, clean, and clear. So what happened to the WGO box icons??? :eek: The colors are WAY too bright for the rest of the forum - again, no color coordination, they are too large, and there's a black jaggedy edge around both of them.
The black footer strip at the bottom of the forum, has invisible links - you need to adjust the links colors in the backgroun and page areas of your Main CSS for this style.
Your navbit icons up top are blurry.
Your postbit buttons could be very nice, but the text is too bold, blocky and blurry.I'll stop there. Like I said, I'm sorry if I'm being too blunt, and I certainly don't mean to hurt your feelings by publicly criticizing your work. But you are new to this, and when you release a skin to the public, expect it to be critiqued and even criticized. I hope you'll consider this constructive criticism, because I want to help you do better. I know you can :yes:
