I don't know maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't generally consider a UI "new" or "innovative" or otherwise consider it to stand out if it doesn't contain at least a different background graphic than the awful grey stone EQ chose. Yuk! Can't stand it lol. I'm not trying to pick on Lunix or anything, but since you did speak so boldly about your upcoming UI, maybe you can field some CC
I've only seen bits and pieces of your work but so far it's not too bad. Not to my taste because it doesn't seem to stray too far from the default, or it just adds some extra functionality, and we all know the default is the devil
Some of your pieces seem to be popular, so it's likely I am in the minority on some of my opinions, and I'd like nothing more than your completed UI to hit me like a barrel of building bricks. Just tellin' ya now, it takes a lot to impress me!
