You should see some of the theming threads out there, either for Winterboard or LockInfo. They make MySpace pages look conservative. What astounds me is not that people create these themes (I can understand thinking that lime green "horror" fonts "would be cool", even if I disagree); it's that people carry on using them. I don't understand how they can get past a few minutes of having them before realising that they make the phone impossible to use. Then again, it's not just the users. Have you seen some of the official animated wallpapers that ship with Android? Actually, come to think of it, have you seen the Mario animated wallpaper, and the reactions to it? Talk about destroying any ease of use your phone may have had... -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm

Actually I think tis is one of the reasons that in a few years android will be much more the norm than the iPhone in the not too distant future (which is good as I am looking forward to calling android owners fashion victims!). One of the things that appealed to a lot of people is that they really did want green text on a cyan background. Myspace did well *because* people wanted flashing backgrounds and black on black text, not dispite of it. Where I work, memos and emails from secretaries and other departments often come in comic sans. And that includes emails from the MoD. I think one of apples major problems is forgetting that once they sell someone, it is no longer their property. -- Woody
