Here's an extended list of comments from me:
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
  1. Clicking the button on the status bar produces a 404 as it tries to load a journal page.

  2. The options window is Modal! :cries: I can't write critique it without constantly opening and closing the window. Also my first instinct was to immediately click off the options window once I applied the skin so I could click Refresh, but cannot do so. I want to be able to quickly switch skins without having to open/close the skin options every time. :|

  3. Ergo, to improve on .2 you could have it that when you single-click on the skin icon in the statusbar a menu appears with a list of current skins and you click one to set it.

  4. Black Deviant ART preview image by (opens/closes)MP3Chuck, doesn't display.

  5. Adding a new skin is not very inititive, the preselect list you have is difficult to scroll up or down. When you hit the scroller arrows it scrolls too quickly. It's impossible to scroll controlably. If this list was long (which I expect it will get), it'd be impossible to navigate into the middle without being driven mad

  6. (opens/closes)Using insert CSS on load causes the old skin to show for a short while when the page is being loaded for the first time (uncached). Is it not possible to do an instantaneous switch by replacing the CSS structure Gecko is referencing (for example see the CSS-Editor side pane extension that lets you edit CSS and see the changes happen in real time). If you were to use the code from the CSS Side Pane editor (one can be found in the Web Developer Toolbar) then the skins could be applied instantly without reloading the page from the options window (even as you click on each!)

  7. On credits, make the names linkable?


    8. Sorry for being harsh, I'm an interface designer by nature >_<
