Thanks for the lastest release. We are curious what the time line for the new skin is going to be, and if you have any dates in mind for release?

We don't have a concrete deadline but I'd expect a first 0.8-alpha or beta release with the new skin in early February. Then all the plugin developers need some time to adapt their plugins to the new UI. And of course a lot of Internet Explorer Hacking will be necessary...

Thomas, is the plan to completely replace the existing skin, or will both co-exist for a release or two? I don't imagine that anyone wants to maintain 2 skins for very long...

Then plan is to put the new skin in place of the "default" skin once it is complete and tested while keeping the old default skin as "legacy" skin for at least one major release. We'll most likley drop support for IE6 with the new skin and old IEs will therefore get to see the legacy skin.

Of course, we're not keen on maintaining two skins in parallel so expect the legacy skin to stay at the current state and being removed after a while. But in case somebody is willing to "bring back the old design" and to maintain the old skin, there's still a chance for it to survive the armageddon.
