The classic skin looks great, but the only area still bothering me is the URL 
bar and that area [the big ugly search button, etc.]

The one in QuasiClassic looks, IMO, excellent.  Download it at 
http://members.xoom.com/_XMCM/Biswapesh/Chrome.zip and try it out.

I am willing to provide any donuts necessary to get you to do this.
For the lazy, there's a screenshot up at 
http://members.xoom.com/_XMCM/Biswapesh/almost-classic.gif  -- I realize you 
can't move the Search button outside of the URL bar (as better as I think it 
would look), but I think the gray arrow dropdown looks good, and the icon used 
there isn't too bad (it has a nice hover effect also, and it's nicely spaced 
from the text in the URL bar).  I also think that the border of the URL bar and 
the way it looks more "engraved" in the UI is nice [it looks a little cleaner 
and sharper than Classic's]

I've added an ETA as to when I think Ben will mark this "bug," with its lack of 
any real issue, as WONTFIX out of frustration.

Clicking on that link takes me to:

Which is an error. NC4.72 shows the correct URL however.
Just mentioning it, so noone thinks you want a commercial for xoom as the new
search-button ;)
LOL

I have something in mind for this, just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. 

cc'ing gramps as he was the proxy for the most recent set of donuts.

Don: please check out the URL bar in the Classic skin and provide as many 
donuts as you think ben needs to clean it up.  I am willing to reimburse you 
with financial support if ben only eats gourmet donuts, or if the local 
Mountain View Dunkin' Donuts happen to be very expensive.
OK, the new URL bar area looks as good as/better than QuasiClassic's.  nice job.
