I love the new skin. It's a lot more stylish. Anyone who disagrees is a communist.

I think the colors used is very boring. just like a cloudy weather with snow. Not very interesting for me!

For anyone with Windows xp who can't get enough of new looks, try this:

Start>control panel>accessibility options

pick the "Display" tab

then put a check mark in the box next to "Use High Contrast" and then hit "Apply" at the bottom.
