Love to say I agree but, with respect, it looks unfinished and unpolished.

I do not want to step on anyone's toes here but these are meant as honest criticisms (BTW in most cases easily fixed):-

1.The free memory display overlapping the dash version.

2.Date display overlapping the main menu.

3.Chip ID overlapping the main menu.

4.CPU/MB Temp and C:\ free space not well aligned.

5.Preview area neither 4:3 or WS.

6.Main menu items not all same upper/lower case and whilst very readable bland default font choice.

7.All that space on the right unused and at the bottom too; better place for Temp. display.

8. 4:3 skin design format may not adapt attractively to WS which most users are going to be using.

9. There will be resolution display issues too in 720p and 1080i as the skin.xml info menu items do not include any X/Y scaling. 

Functional and usable undoubtedly but is anyone here really going to use this in preference to, for instance, any of the ones in KaosEngineers' Top 10 UX skins? Rocky5 also drew up a similar list of good quality, well finished UX skins a few years ago and his XB Softmodding Tool skin, which is basically a UX one, is none too shabby either. 

If it or something like this is going to offered as a OGXbox Forum recommended UX skin I would think one based on the Forums own colour scheme and design would be something worth working on.

Most of those issues go away when it's in widescreen. That's what it was created with. 
As far as the forum colors and matching... I change them semi frequently. I understand you don't like the skin but most of your commentary is quite off the mark when you actually use it in widescreen.
