the site i designed for my company my first flash project, so be easy with me: http://www.rapid-prototypes.com we make packaging prototypes for vendors who deal with wal-mart, but we can do wide-format prints, wide-format lamination and tradeshow booths too. this is my personal site: just a resume and a small collection of my work. i went easy on the graphic side because i'd rather have a structural job than a graphic one... i'm not crazy about the redesign of the site this

Forums aren't known for their ability to bring out the eloquence in people, but I will state my opinion plainly and boldly, without malice and without calling attention to any individual. And when we are talking about the kind of themes I like, I AM an authority on that. I could also create a list of reasons why a great deal of the themes are lacking to back up my opinion but I doubt very seriously that it would be taken properly.

Allen Bond has a few good themes... thanks for the link. I didn't mean to cause a bunch of controversy with this thread (or hurt anyone's feelings), rather I had hoped to spur some users to study the aspests of Kali schemes that made them look AND WORK so well as an interface. I attempted to make a kali scheme way back when, but Frogboy is right in that they were difficult to make. I haven't even attempted to make one in WB yet, but I'm sure it's not as easy as copying and past

Wow. You sure are sensitive. I didn't say that ALL of them sucked. But with SO MANY being submitted, I would figure that there would be MORE good themes.... I'm not putting WB themers down, I'm challenging them to rise above... or something like that... The problem, as I see it, is the same here as it is anywhere: people don't care about the quality of their work. I deal with designers everyday that hand in sloppy work, great ideas and poor execution, powerful form and no follow-through
They've got some great old schemes at that site. I wish I had the time to recreate some of them for WindowBlinds... http://www.kaleidoscope.net/schemes/schemespotlight.shtml Frankly, I'm a little disappointed in how crappy the majority of WindowBlind themes are. A lot of them are headed in a really good direction, but take a turn for the terrible with bad typefaces or contrast problems, etc.... I'd LOVE to see some from the spotlight section make their way into WB....

Has anyone ever used the themes at the site below for inspiration in WindowBlinds? http://kaleidoscope.net/schemes/new.shtml There are some great, quality interface themes there...
