This visual mod for Ikariam looks totally different from any other graphic pack out there. As the name of the script implies, my intent is to give the game a matte metallic feel with a minimal color palette. The style will remain relatively simplistic and I have made multiple versions of the mod with different color schemes. So far Cobalt, Carmine, Canary and Cadmium Editions are available.
I am aware that several formatting/graphical errors remain. Expect to see those fixed in the coming weeks. I will also be replacing all of the images shown in the World, Island, and Town view screens eventually, so this script will not be compatible with other graphic packs like Animated Ikariam in the future. So far a rough version of the World view is in place, but the islands will be updated so show more variety. I welcome any and all criticism and am very interested in your feedback. Let me know what you think or what you'd like to see! If you find any bugs in the script, please let me know so I can fix them promptly. Even if it's a little thing that I might already be aware of, tell me anyway.

Updates:
October 15th 2008:Added Edition-specific designs to the top-left corner of the interface. Cleaned up several images throughout the script. October 4th to 8th 2008: Replaced several Premium images. Fixed the Notebar/Quickbar scripts' positioning (they didn't stay in place when the window was resized; it's now docked on the left side of the screen like the original script). Fixed the footer image overlapping the island action box. Added the Ikariam Notebar and Quickbar scripts and edited the code so they appear more integrated. Replaced the yes/no images for building demolition confirmation. Changed the color of the buttons in Canary Edition from yellow to grey so they are legible. Replaced the premium advisors with the Gunmetal advisors (untested). Added code to notify users when there's a new version of the script. September 30th 2008: Changed the footer image so that the grey background color can be modified by the user seamlessly (if they manually edit the script). The advisor colors were changed so they are no longer sharing the Cobalt Edition color scheme (they're universal now). Added code to remove the useless horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the page. Changed the code for the grey background color so it's no longer an image file, now it's just a hex color. September 21st 2008 Fixed errors caused by version 0.2.8 of Ikariam and added images/formatting for the new features. Fixed various formatting errors. Replaced the missing 'online status' image from the Embassy page. August 10th 2008 Added images for the World View page (islands, ocean, selection, wonders and resources). Added mouseover images for detailed battle reports. Reverted the opacity on the tooltips from 0.5 back to 1. Reformatted the layout of the script file so it's easier to navigate. Changed the image host from Photobucket to IkariaMods. Changed the layout of the rest of the pages (a few minor problems persist). July 21st to 25th 2008 Fixed errors caused by version 0.2.7 of Ikariam. Created and/or modified various images, particularly in the content boxes of the main window. Formatted the merchant, finances, shipyard, port, and town wall pages so they're not as messy. Changed the text color of the context boxes. Reformatted the context boxes of the advisors and a few other windows. July 11th to 16th 2008 Changed the Gunmetal Ikariam subtitle. Created and/or modified various images, icons and buttons for the early version of this script. Changed the clickable button's color from grey to edition-specific colors and fixed its layout to accomodate scrolling text. Modified the main window's header and body text color/position. Changed the layout of the sideboxes. Added comments to the javascript file for easy navigation. Implemented a hard code hack to properly display mini icons. Redesigned several existing icons.
