I'm looking for someone to help sort out GUI and graphical aspects fo AFLobby and give suggestions and do artwork.
Other devs simply ask for a graphic, but I need the whole thing to fit together in a consistent proffesional looking theme, whcih means 1 style, 1 artist.
Volunteers?

I'd like to help.
What about you give everyone until Sunday, and we all post a pic of GUI mock up we've made? Then you can pick the best one.
**EDIT**
I just downloaded AF lobby - is that one screen all there is to it?
It would be nice if you could post a screeny of the main interface, and we can 'skin' that and show off the jpg's afterwards.

Why you wanna skinnig it?
just add some graphic, not much.
i realy don't like to skin aplications, becouse many times the skins waste desktop place and memory, more time to load, etc... , and looks horrible, than windows looks like circus or something.
if you wanna still do it than pls do it simple and high usability.
i like something like this

I'm not particularly fond of total skinning either.

I like skinning for ingame fullscreen GUI's, but they just look ugly on a windows background.

well, if it's going ot be skinnable, I will make an 'battleship gray' skin eventually...

It doesn't need to be full-on skinnable like that crappy looking ASUS app. But having some nice gradient buttons or backdrops are pleasing on the eyes.

Well I'm thinking it to be more inspired by the thirty0ne look darkstars has, exept maybe not so much the orange.
Just packaging and uploading a test copy for you to check ti out.

If you could upload a binary somewhere that could really jumpstart the process.
