At first there will only be one site theme. We probably won't have per use skins like we did before so that we can make better use of caching (i.e. make the site much faster).

Bummer about only one site theme. Will it be the same one that is on the user pages? 
Good news about the higher speeds though!

froggy: did you ever look at color themes for the page? I recall posting that in the thread some time back. It's kinda the best of both worlds, no ?

It seems rather odd for a site mainly dedicated to skinning will not have the capability to alter its look. I understand the need for speed we all want that. But maybe only restrict dialup to one theme? Easily selectable via profile I should think.
Regardless I am eager to see what the new pages bring us.

one has to balance form over function. I'd think color themes would work better for that than the current skinning solution IMHO.

I would have to agree with GhoS and say for a customizing site such as this one would have more options for the look and feel of a website. With todays new computers, even on dial up should be ok with the speed.
The User Page is ok, but lets face it. We love to change things. That is why we are a customizing community.
For example, I'm looking at a Halloween version of Wincustomize right now. Please don't take the customizing away from me.

I know this is off topic but what ever happened to the beta of "right-click" being released?
