Cool, I think it would look better with just semi-transparent fields though, none of the "glass effect".

Here are some screenshots with semi-transparent fields

I wouldn´t set the overlays/controls in the upper part of screen covering exactly the faces (which is the case for 99% of fanart ;)

You're probably right, but it's difficult to alter when you are tied up by the design of the skin.
The only thing I could come up with right now, was using <colordiffuse> 60ffffff </ colordiffuse>

Thanks for your feedback it's much appreciated.

    Nice, but I would probably drop the lines too. If you get the "right amount" of transparency, just text on top of FanArt will look great, like a minimalistic magazine layout. :) Also, keep in mind that bigger marginals around text makes everything look fancier. Attached is a Basic Home mockup I did a couple of weeks ago that only uses semi-transparent shapes only to improve text readability.
