Very helpful posts everyone.

That Blue.Athloni.FINAL skin was the one that older SID used and its installer dash too. I've seen several versions of it, probably edited ones. A good basic dash.

I've just looked through my small collection of UnleashX skins some of which I may have got from the site in question. Might help to identify them:-

Atlas_Blue - don't like it much, the text positioning is particuarly messed up.

marrbelized_V2 - very good monochrome skin but with one text positioning issue. Font choice a bit basic but both matters easily to change.

Pudd_Metal - another good monochrome skin but Game Save Manager is displayed poorly due to transparency matters. That may be improved with editing but haven't tried it yet.

FlighTs XBoxpro - good, well finished skin, a bit 1980s in its neon/sci-fi graphical design theme but some real effort went into it.

Shattered Cube Blue - decent design if odd choice of main image. Certain elements could be better positioned.

TrueMSdash 2 Green - I used this as the basis for my main UnleashX edited skin. Basically the default blue skin in Xbox green but with
more thoughful text positioning and background/text colour selection.

VM VIEW2 - one of those 'striking' main image skins. The orange alien, cat's eyes theme soon annoys and the image isn't that high resolution either ie. looks a bit soft. Still, apart from that and the odd 1970s style UnleashX graphic, an above average design.

Neither are perfect but marrebelized_V2 and Pudd_Metal are the two standout skins I've found, The graphics look very clean and professional in both cases. When you get that mix of colour from the icon/preview window and the metal monochome theme the whole concept really works.
