So what's the next new trend?

Friday, September 28, 2007 by vStyler | Discussion: Skinning

OK.. so is it going to take Microsoft to lead us into the next big revolution in desktop design?


 I hope not, I personally try to design along the lines of what is popular but with my own twist on it but I have to say, after 3 glassy Vista-ish skins in a row.. its getting old. Having said that, with transparency and blurring recently implemented into WB it's going to be hard to come up with skins that don't incorporate these features and still make an original and popular skin.


I know a lot of you don't skin but probably have some ideas of the definitive perfect skin rolling around in your head.


Let's hear some idea's of what you might think would be a good direction to go once the current trends get old. Lets keep commercially themed ideas out of the discussion. I'm more interested on a particular look\texture\shapes\materials.. etc.


I am currently working on a new skin but if something strikes a chord with me I myself may take on an interesting idea or perhaps someone can stir some interest from other skinners.


The ball is in your court....

Depends what you exactly imagine with "touch screen'y" but I think yeah^^
I would try to do it myself but I don't own the full Object Desktop so no SkinStudio 6 for me

 Po, Im always smitten with your work.......   as for what people want, trends ect......thats always hard to tell, so instead of trying to work out the latest must have skins.......I just go nuts and innovate my own...Johnny, I dont think you can have a finger on the pulse of the consumer 24 7 and know exactly what they want.....people are a fickle bunch....
