Re: [ros-dev] FreeWin95

I agree as well, I think adding skinning support right now would 
definately be getting ahead of yourselves, how about some working 
networking with firefox and wireless network cards, not to mention a 
system stable enough so I can run my machine for days without reboot?  I 
personally think that solid office productivity and solid networking 
with wireless support is more important right now than getting theming 
working.  I personally think that theming should come AFTER DirectX 9 
and nVidia/ATI graphics drivers are working, that way the theming engine 
than render the entire GUI using hardware acceleration and particle 
effects (aka Mac OS X Quartz Extreme).  Might as well do it right the 
first time than do a crappy job and go back and fix it later.
