After days of not sleeping.. I have come to conclusion that the "best" skin is Fusion by Arcanthur and second "best" Xperience1080 by `Black, since I found myself using those two skins the most.
Also great skins are reFocus, Boxee Inspirat and Quartz 3. So that's currently my TOP 5.

Only thing that bothers me about reFocus is the spelling of "Favourites", lol! Can I change that (to "Favorites")?

MQ3 is my fav skin right now. Second would be transparency.
IMO there is no single skin that is perfect. It all depends on what your looking for. Speed, cool menus, functionality, ease of use, computability with X add-on. I wish there was a score card we can start scoring skins, so devs know the area's to work on as feedback.

Presentation
Graphics
Features
Usability
Lasting Appeal
So if we score from 1-5 on each of them and take the average of the sum? We could make a sticky for skin reviews. Would help users find skins they like. Just a suggestion...

I for one take no notice of the opinion of other users. Every one got his own taste and point of use.
So no sticky. Users should just try the skins and see which one they like and uninstall the ones they don't like

The Aeon skins (especially the amazing MQ3) tend to be the most popular. Eye candy galore.
Other skins are catching up but still there are few contenders to Aeon's throne.

I was never a big fan of Aeon skins but Nox 3.0 is turning out to be the best skin I have used yet and it just seems to keep getting better.

I gotta say, I am pretty darn happy with Confluence Vertical. Simple yet checks all the boxes.

Got excited about Nox 3.0 so I tried it but it appears to be more sluggish than MQ3 that I've been using for a while (overall snappiness and particularly wall mode). I will say it is very sexy (MQ3 looks a little rough around the edges in comparison). I have over 300 movies and prefer Wall mode so that is probably contributing to the slowness.
So, back to MQ3 for now.
