It is out there! Install the plugins and have a look. I am talking since November last year about the concept and finally got the chance to implement it because I could take the time. I know that the skins are coming from you and they are REALLY great but they have their limitations. In the future I HOPE that the same some committer will say regarding the view concept (I am already seeing limitations that I do not like). It is not about an unified design it is about to make it happen. I would be VERY HAPPY if you can/will enhance the ideas and the design. To be honest I am only implementing it because I want to use forrest for my own personal webpage (nothing more and nothing less) and I am sad that you are tired because YOU ARE the one that we need to make it really a success. ...but I guess that is your personal decision and I respect it because I respect your work. salu2 -- thorsten "Together we stand, divided we fall!"
