Hello.
The only thing I know for certain about the new skin is that the new logo will be part of it. Given that's the case, I'll probably be going for a blue/grey look with revised buttons and pips.
Ideas for bouncing around:
Would multiple selectable skins be useful - e.g. dark, light and a mixed?
Would you want to stick with just the one skin for now?
I'll be adding a news section at the top for any urgent messages to make it look a bit slicker than it is. Just need to dig some code out for that.
