Skype GUI Re-design (Sign-in Screen)

1. Colors.
2. Text alignment.
3. Use the same round corner width on all elements.. or don't use it at all.
Looks exactly the same.. jsut grayscale instead of blue.

That's pretty much the purpose of re-branding.

It does look nice, but I'd prefer a light coloured app. It's simply too dark in my opinion.
Other than that, it's pretty much just their logo thrown onto a background with text boxes.
Do some more to it, it's too empty.

I never said you were designing for a client. Where'd you even read that it was? Don't criticize me for something that YOU thought.

But you're welcome though...

1. I'm making it have a dark theme for a reason
2. The text is already aligned?
3. I'll change this

Thanks for your feedback Snorlax, I respect you a lot as a member and value your input!

Add colors.
Text is not vertically aligned as far as I can see.

I'll take your opinions and statements into consideration, thanks for your feedback!
I prefer non-rounded rectangles for the login form, and the form overall is extremely simple. Try to redesign the login form completely (including the skype logo) and use a blend of interesting colors rather then just grey and white.

Great job op!

I like the simple design and stuff, even I prefer this to the blue shitty one.Looking forward to much more

What do you mean it's not vertically aligned? It is.
Yeah it's an extremely trippy illusion that it isn't aligned.

The lack of descenders in the text makes it feel top heavy.

Check this: https://puu.sh/cfD2g.png
Same selection, just moved down: https://puu.sh/cfD2R.png

Sure the other letters are vertically aligned, but if the capital letters and "unregular" letters aren't, it will look weird.
Either pick another font of fix it yourself. There is more air beneath than above, which makes the text look like it's top aligned.
I fixed the alignment as much as I possibly can, I like the font so I'm not going to switch it. I did redo the sign-in button so now it matches the other two rounded rectangles.

You didn't adjust the vertical alignment of the 'Username' text.
