cool!
Yes, the smileys from ubitux are really nice and I'd wish we'd always keep
those by default. They are great and people got used to them, so...

About grouptopback_dark/light:
<topgroupbg></topgroupbg> <!-- if it's empty it means use the skin images
-->
<topgroupbg_style></topgroupbg_style> <!-- it works only if topgroupbg is
set and style allowed are: light, dark.-->
In the default skins's settings.xml..
and the code basically does a "if topgroupbg != "" : if $topgroupbg_style ==
"light"... elseif $topgroupbg_style == "dark" else ..."
so there you go, that's how you test it..
about the ccard, you need to go to view->Show spaces icon, and in the
Ctrl-shift-C console, type :
::config::setKey spacesinfo ccard
then clicking on the star next to the nickname should bring up the ccard
window...

Alright, I had another look at the skin, it's quite nice! good job there!
However, the colors are still hurting the eyes, but it's not the pixmaps,
it's just the status colors! So you only need to change the color
definitions in the settings.xml, it shouldn't be too hard... I don't think
there's any need to change the dp borders though, they're small so they
won't bother... Try to keep the same color scheme as with the current
default.
I'm also not sure about the background, it looks bubbly.. which in my head
means : haha, fun, i'm 5 years old! I don't know, it looks childish, but
some people are still using this at work and are 40+ years old, so either
something more simple and subtle, or no background at all (we don't *need* a
background)...
By the way, I also looked at the voip controls and the images weren't
changed from the bad ugly default skin ones.. could you redo them please?
Simply do a 'start audio call' on someone and they'll appear on your
right...
