Wired News: How Mac OS X Can Shed Its Skin
Mark Rolston, VP of creative at frog design, said the ShapeShifter hobbyist community is at the forefront of what may be the next big thing in computing: skinning the operating system.
"Windows is monolithic. Everyone gets the same style," he said. "You have all these totally different users across the world, and they get the same damn scheme."
The forefront of the next big thing. Wow.
So where does this put the Linux users who have been theming the living daylights out of their X window managers for the past few years?
Oh, wait, they're not "professional designers."

I was an E-theming junkie for about two solid years. Now? I've pretty much gotten over it. I don't really care that much what it looks like as long as it's usable and does the job reliably.
Maturity comes to us all, I suppose...
