Thank you for giving some honest criticism. I think I’m getting the hang of the color palette. I really should be documenting which color does what and I think I will on the next pass. I revised the shiny skin and you are indeed correct that the yellow sliders looked bad. I think a subtle grey looks better. I was able to change the text so it looks more visible but I have no idea what color I changed to make the input out put icons look garbled. I’ll probably figure that out when I go through all the colors to find out their specific uses.
The backdrop for the “about” was a surprise… wow that IS terrifying! 
Here is a current(at the time I typed this)screen shot of the skin in “action”.
I did want to make the backdrop black but since I can’t change the cursor color for now, that won’t happen just yet.
