Review of Glaze (Reviewer #9)

Ease of use:
This skin is one of those skins where it loads up, and you know what's happening. Very few people should have any issue at all getting used to this skin. Pretty much everything is self explanatory. :D

Rating: 5 / 5

Features:
I hate to rate low on this, but I do based ONLY on the fact that it really is meant to be minimalistic, so the feature set is built accordingly. Very few features, but those that are there are quite good. Using Mantis for the colour changing instead of layers in the PSD make for quicker switch times on older boxes.

Rating: 2 / 5

Look & Graphics:
Very slick, very minimalistic. My favourite. To elaborate a bit, the "metal" look of the grey chasis is very clean, not the typical "n00b" metal that most people are getting bored. It has a clean, sw00by smooth to it. The wide variety of colours blend really well with the light metal look as well. This is one of the main reasons I love this skin so much, I can alter the colour scheme, and it will still blend in with whatever "theme" I have Windows set to. Oh, and pixel fonts rock!

Rating: 5 / 5

Code & Stability:
Thus far Glaze has never given me an issue, in fact, it almost always runs better than the other skins I have installed for S2. Time and time again, I load a huge number of files into the playlist with little or no lag. I've actually tried to crash this skin, but to no avail so far. It runs great.

Rating: 4 / 5

Edge & Whiz-bang factors:
This skin has a pretty decent edge, especially for such a lightweight contender, but has the stuff it needs to really hold it's own. Again, as with the features, it is pretty lackluster and leaves a lot to be desired, but that's what it's meant to be, so there's really no complaints here.

Rating: 3 / 5

Overall & Summary:
This is an excellent skin, and I recommend that anyone that has not installed it yet....GET TO IT. You'll love this skin, and you'll love the way it fits neatly in the corner of your desktop. Clean, sexy, and especially sw00by, this is a great overall skin. Fantastic job Baalrukh! p.s.: Let's see a full-featured version. ;)

Overall Rating: 9 / 10

Awesome just love it,'tis my default skin especially seeing it doesn't consume as much as the default. P.S. the newest version has all those features.
