I onlt do the hacking and wrote many times that we need designers. So
every design idea is good. 

But for the logo, I kind of like the old one. It's only text and a
small rectangle behind it, but it looks kind of nice. Maybe replace
the "o" in the old logo by your idea of a logo.

Right now, the old and new skin code is more or less the same. But
when you have a nice idea for a theme that can't be done with the
current skin code, we can enhance the code, no problem. Just tell me
what you need.

Nice. Again, just design what you want and we can talk about expanding
the skin core later.

But blue doesn't distract you. Rad is an alarm color and green is also
"stronger" than blue.

What? That's the first time I heard about this. I try to respect
patents and all the stuff I don't agree with, but I will not respect a
color as trademark. So at least for Germany (or complete Europe), I
would like to have a green skin. I can't believe they have a trademark
on green here.
