Looks like Winamp

Well if some folks went to all that trouble to shade and render and glassify and illumination effect things why should they not be used?

They should! And they can be used by whoever wants them, the discussion is about what the MX Default theme should be not what themes people can use once they've installed MX. Once installed you can go wild!

It seems a good option. Let the consumer decide ?

OP doesn't go far enough. EVERY operating system should have a skeuomorphic default theme. Flat design was one of the worst mistakes in IT history.

Thank goodness all those are just opinions. :) Please don't dig up old topics next time.

If it's old, why was it near the top of the topics list?

[Eadwine Rose]

Because someone dug it up.
