It reminds me of an old line from Mark Twain:

I'm not part of the crowd that thinks flashy = good.
In fact, I think flashy often = bad (for example, flash itself can be
misused to be very bad, as I pointed out in another thread).
(and I too like default - despite the extra functionality of fishbone,
I find the colours not relaxing, almost jarring).
But *my* problems with the web interface are not layout issues, not
skinable issues, but responsiveness issues. I wouldn't particularly
want to change the look of Default, or perhaps only a bit - one or two
things from Fishbone are quite nice, modulo the colour scheme.
But the fact that every interaction takes 5 seconds puts it in the same
class as the Audiotron - which was slower than the second coming. And
that takes more than a few cosmetic skin patches to change.
I gather 6.5 is better - I haven't had a chance to download it yet. So
maybe I'd better wait and see. Maybe this weekend if time permits.
