Is anybody else getting tired of the glossy glass aqua look?

Ever since Mac OS X it hasn't let up. It is so over done.

I'm going to scream if one more "new" Aqua Office X pack hit the dock icons. https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?searchtext=office&sort=updatedate&order=Descending&library=29
I still like the look ok and use it sometimes but blah. There was an Aqua-ish WB I really liked, Cryogenic, but I guess it's gone from the library.

Well, I hope "shiny" isn't out completely as the theme I'm working on is somewhat shiny - and if it's out of fashion before I've even finished it I'll scream
Mines not Aqua by any stretch though as I agree that it's become passe now. take a look at my current screen shot and please someone tell me I've not wasted the hours already spent on it

Sput....no....not wasted at all.
Styles tend to come and go....some may think glossy objects are passe but so many people like them and many are new to the skinning game that it'll be popular for a long time yet, if not forever...

Nah it looks real nice Sput. It's shiny but it's original, not Aqua look . I'm already planning which icons and dock I'd use with it.

I was tired of it loooong before OSX came out. Aqua ofcourse didn't really help much.

I don't know, but I do know that Jario's work is some of the stuff I like best for ObjectDock, and almost all of it is glassy. 
Of course ObjectDock is kinda modeled after OSX.

Woh. I totally agree. I forgot about Jairo Boudewyn. I must say his work is an exception to the rule. His work stands out. I like it very much.

i like xero's aqua icons. very crisp and clean, nice colors.. not glass, something halfway between faux and apple.
