Hi,
sorry for jumping in out of no where. I think a good interface looks elegant but doesn't dominate the screen or is too much of an eyecandy thing. I.e. it is supposed to be an interface not the part of the screen that naturaly draws attention to it.
I sort of have the feeling that while Elhoim's work is great it gets a little too "intrusive" slowly.
Just took a screenshot from the main site and pasted the interface in. I tried to find one that didn't have stone or wood textures in, as the one used so far has. It is an outdated one, I gather - no shadows and the like, but it was the closest one I found that had a different setting.
I think it'd help to try out the interface against really varying backgrounds - with this particular screen it just stands out too much, in my opinion, is too textured and doesn't harmonize well with the rest of the screen. I think Elegance over complexity should be the aim.
But generally ... like it heeps more then the one that was in originally.
