I was just going to post that I thought the OS X skin was pretty lame. Anyway, to each their own and I agree that the cab is just too generic for my taste.
I couldn't care less about the rest of the skin, I just want that little task bar across the bottom that pops up icons as you scroll across them.
For some reason, I'm going through my minimalist phase on my laptop. Black background and a completely empty desktop, not even a My Computer or Recycle Bin icon. The task bar across the bottom looks like ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- IMO and I want something a little less intrusive and more intuitive.
It's probably to counter-balance my crappy work PC with its (agianst the rules) PA wallpaper and 20 something icons I'm required to have on the desktop. Uggh.
