Firsties!
Well, that's a very cool idea.
I like the screens in general. I notice two things, however. First of all, the right wooden beam you use in the "Main GUI Marble" is too dark. That looks very out of place.
Also, it occurs to me that the trading screen didn't change, although there were a few issues with that. Of course I don't know all the facts about what's required from the interface.

@Elhoim
Some sugestions, don't throw away your alternate gui themes. If the game supports theme selection both can be used.
On the journal thingy i love the idea of registering not only quest info but also every other info related to encounters, lore, ingrideants, places, etc
It may be better to group quests by location the Fallout instead of the Morrowind way. When we click on an area we get a list of the quests we found in this area in the main. Clicking on an entry in this list shows the quest text with some buttons to scroll or go back to the index.

About you inquires the screen functionality, VD is your man. I only design the looks.

Re: Firsties!
Dark wood: You are right! It wasn´t intended.
Trade screen: Yeah, I still haven´t changed its functionality. Will do it soon, but not so soon.

Not again with the soon crap please.
I gotta say, you really answered the concerns about consistency, and as one of the people that complained about too many textures, I can tell you at least the marble set doesn't have that problem now. Excellent job, che.
I still think the borders around the lava are too big though (and why is it rocks? are rocks involved in crafting somehow?).

Why the rocks? I imagined it like a forging place, with stone canals in which the lava flows...
Yeah. I assume that's just a placeholder, though.
Edit: Hmm..

Dude, those both look really good. I've no quams with either, but I'm easy (just ask the boys). Wooo.
Nice work! I think it's evident by now which version I like better. Marble all the way!
Less textured, easier on the eyes.
Here comes a long list of nitpicks.
Other than that, in the main GUI, for the sake of symmetry/consistency (if you care about that), you coud align the "separator" between the weapon slots with one from the icon's, like you did with the others.
Still on the main GUI, maybe having all the icons on the top line and leaving weapon slots and AP/HP indicators on the bottom one would be better. Sure, you'd lose in icon real estate, but might gain in clarity.
Edit: quick mockup, a bit blurry because of the extensive resizing.
Apart from that, the X is still ugly.
Like the others have said, the rocks in the crafting screen are odd. Too grainy/noisy, plus they are embossed so they come out even more.
The Character screen still come to me as a bit unclear. I guess the section titles are not emphasised enough (for my taste), most likely because the gold font on the brown box doesn't come out so well.
Something ticks me in the inventory screen. There's too much stuff happening. Without the tabbar, it would be fine, but we don't want to remove that. I don't know if putting the tabbar on top of the inventory items would be better, but we'd lose some of the already limited space for them. I think denizsi's idea to make all the item boxes the same size was a good solution.
Edit6: another mockup. The other edits were not worthy, icons where too small.

Seems to me that it's the case for all the screens. The wood gets gradually darker as we go from left to right in each screen. Maybe tone it down a little.Claw said:
