Choose Your Skin Preference: Android-Inspired or Classic Design?

[Nikitin]

Hi. Would it be feasible to let the user choose his preferred skin? I really don't like this "modern" android-inspired stuff, and would really prefer the old skin instead.

I believe you are missing the point - it is not a new skin, it is a completely new engine. Switch was announced in August:

Yes, I already knew the changes are much bigger than just the skin. What I'm asking about is if it's feasible to let those who wish have the old look back,, or at least something resembling the old look.

I am afraid it can't be done. We discussed it in the past - and it would require supporting more than one skin. Problem is, PF is (and always will be) highly customized, which makes support of multiple skins virtually impossible taking into account resources (mainly man hours) we have at hand.
