Garbear,
Both the games menu and the settings menu look like a context menu, so why not just use that. And yes, I'm with Hitcher on the game saves dialog, just use the bookmarks dialog.
Now a thank you for at least asking this time around on skin issues. PVR was just a dogs breakfast because we had a pile of new windows and dialogs dumped on us and no way to see what the screens looked like unless we had a live PVR system to run on. This is the reason why even today support for PVR among skins is patchy, as coding these screens is just a massive PITA and quit often done blind.
Once again I would say the same as Hitcher, if there is a existing window or dialog that looks close to what you need to display, use it. Every time you come up with a 'New' screen its another screen we need to squeeze into our existing look and feel. And also if you really must come up with a new screen, please, please provide dummy files that we can install to show us what we need to be dealing with. Oh, BTW if you use a custom window file from estuary it's basically the same as saying here is a new window file to code, please try to avoid.
