I don't mean to cause a stir with this but I'm sure it is going to anyway. But, someone has to say this sometime soon. I think all you skinners are great and the blinds for 5.0 have been really good. I am seeing a problem though that I hope will change very soon. I will actually issue a challenge... one where you challenge yourselves to be a bit more creative. There seems to be a unnerving trend to just make transparent halos for the window frames. The possibilities for so much more than this exist now. There have been a few (and I stress few) new blinds where mixing up the transparency with some opacity and I commend those very few. I only say this because it seems so very sad to me to see this happening. I wouldn't even consider saying anything if I were not a skinner myself as I wouldn't feel it right to issue such a challenge. I know how difficult it is to make a Windowblinds skin. I also know how hard it is to do something different as I try to create blinds that are different than the current trend.
Before anything gets out of hand and people start hating me or something I will mention again I think the skins are great. But, I do feel so much more can be done with the new WB5 then what is being done. I also know I am not the only one thinking this.
