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 don't think the glassy look will ever go out of style here. Look around you. Everything you see has a shine or reflection. What do you have in mind for a differant look. Even if you use a wood texture you will see a certain amount of reflection or glossyness. What you do with the glassy look will make your work appealing to others and want more. In reference, take a look at two wallpaper, WC2K5 LAZER and REBLE COLOR PACK created by RPGuere. To me thay have the richness and depth that gives the effect of glass that stands apart from that glossy aqua look. Also a different style of reflection. Your basic orb consists of three objects. The orb, the reflection and a shade for depth. Now look at something in your home, like a clock face, a CD and even a Christmas ornement that has a gloss to it. Look at the many many reflections in it that make up it's three dimentional form. Now if you can do that type of glassy look, you would definetlly stand apart from the every day glassy aqua object.

seems kinda hard to call aqua a fad, since nothing else could touch it in how much use it's gotten, what other fads are there? (saying brushed metal doesn't count besides apple started that one too) and what exactly is the longhorn fad? blue and white is just a color scheme. Does just use and popularity make something a fad, and what fads would come up next if so? A wood fad? sand fad? bumpy fad? hologram fad? fuzzy fad? Aqua adds interest to many things that would look un-appealing otherwise. (Not that I don't admit it's getting way overdone and there's plenty of other ways to do it) I still say form follows function!!

i know this is not the right place to talk about this...but it's close......."DesktopX should be Flash enabled and must have much more control over windows." and make superior then windowblinds.and need new software which will customize the use and look of (media center edition).
Then you will not get tired soon..coz if they do that there is too much to do.now everybody is stuck with few ideas(Gloss,Aqua,Transparent...etc),just because of windowblinds...i am not angry or anything
just tryin to tell my opinion.Ya i know this is not the right place to tell.
