As one of the two designers of the Plone skin, I thought I would send you
my 2 cents on this.

Not to be harsh, but calling your skin anything with Plone would just
cause confusion, as it has none of the distinguishing marks of the
original look, apart from the blue color.

You break almost every consistency rule and design decision in your skin,
and it is nowhere near being Plone, neither from a usability nor a design
perspective.

I will not comment further on this, I find this discussion a bit
far-fetched. Plone is a separate entity, and you should not mix in the
Plone name if you do not intend to follow our guidelines.
