Yeah, I thought that was weird considering that WindowBlinds and the theming capability in Windows is much greater than what Mac OS X allows.

Yeah I had to read that sentence about four times before moving on, what were they thinking?

Damn I was going to post that, but I should have known I'd be beaten to it since I've been busy all day and just now saw it.

That is strange that they didn't mention WindowBlinds or StyleXP... Oh well.

SS made Wired! I think that's a huge achievement. Sure shows that themes are no-longer just an underground hack.

Too bad Apple hasn't figured that out.

I wish that apple could make X skinnable by default. And make it even easier to skin.

Why don't we all send that kind of feedback or sign up for a petetion

Ya kinda counter anti-theme, you'd think themes would go with the whole "Think Different" slogan.
