If anybody interested could take a look, and give me feedback, that would be wonderful.
It looks nice, but the only useful way to test it is to fill it with some actual articles. Unless I'm missing something, currently it only has a main page with Lorem Ipsum. You can export some using Special:Export in a Wikipedia in any language. Come to think of it, this skin may work even better with Wikiquote, Wiktionary, Wikisource or Wikibooks.
Some other comments that I have just from seeing the main page:
1. Is the main Lorem Ipsum page in Russian just for me because I have it defined in my browser as one of my preferred languages, or is it Russian for everybody?
2. More importantly, why use Lorem Ipsum when you can use an actual Wikipedia main page?
3. Putting the search box at the bottom is a bad practice in some WordPress skins, and it shouldn't be carried over.
4. The :first-letter CSS selector is not guaranteed to work nicely with all languages. This is not, by itself, a reason not to use it; just take it into the consideration. For example, you can make it easy to disable it for some languages.
