Neil, it was certainly not my intention to be impolite in expressing my opinion. Let me explain.
All the hysteria over the "new, modern FLAT" look is quite amusing. It actually looks like something right out of the late 70s or early 80s when our "big" desktops had 64K memory and something approaching 1GB HHD. It is colorless, lifeless, drab and so retro. I, personally, do not comprehend why it grabs so much attention. Those of us who grew up with FLAT outgrew it. We can only hope it happens again. That is why, in my opinion, FLAT is nonsense. I don't know who developed the NB implementation of FLAT. I have read it is not easy to develop a laf for NB so whoever did it has greater skills than do I. It certainly is not my intention to denigrate that developer's abilities. It will, however, be a sad day if/when FLAT becomes the only available laf for NB. As long as I can, changing the laf is the first configuration change I will make to a new install.
