frankly, one of the only reasons i will not be buying vista is because of its disgusting glossy look (let alone all the flaws it WILL have... forever)

im getting SICK of seeing this:


and there are a lot more examples. a lot of people probably think it's NEAT or TECHY and awesome, but come on...

its been a 'trend' for too long, no? and everyone thinks that if you slap a white gradient on the top of any image, it's glossy and sleek and awesome


let me just tell you

WRONG... those are just my feelings... i had to vent

I agree in a way. Sometimes "glossy" type things look ok, but I think after a while I'd get annoyed of seeing the same thing. (But I'm a mac kid so no vista for Toya).

Regarding the "glossy" look in general. I still feel its ok because I haven't really been seeing much of it. But it can easily be overused and overdone. I don't think that it automatically makes things look "neat". Especially if you just slap it onto something. Someone would have to be able to actually "pull it off".
