The skin doesnt work with IE7 :-(

Even with Firefox the aspect ratio of everything is wrong.

I preferred the old skin. Maybe if they do an OS2+ skin

I'm asuming this is just for today (being April 1st).

it's very hard to read and my Amiga hasn't looked like that in YEARS.

There's a reason most of us upgraded from WB1.3 and I think aminet's look serves as a good example why. But I give them an A for style and fun.

(now please make all that blue go away)

The Dutch Commodore user's group website has done a similar thing, although I'm afraid that this change is here to stay:
