[QUOTE="splatterpop, post: 541142, member: 62445"] I think starko has a point focusing on usability and appearance. Although most of the issues he adresses are in fact skin related, i believe the first impression people might get after installing MP is really a nerdy one, because the first thing you see is the cluttered blue3 skin long with a technically very complex configuration section. Being a IT pro myself this has never been a problem for me, but I can imagine people who expect a certain industrial slickness from a technical product that wants to be a part of their living room. I mean, you cannot argue about taste. But that is just the point. In my opinion MP should try appear as unobtrusive as possible, perhaps like the Indigo skin, or even less. You can always change to a more playful skin if you want to. [/QUOTE]
