"The latest release candidate for eComStation has been released and it has some new interesting features as well. We wanted to take a look at it to see how easy it is to install. Why? Well, for many users the installation procedure has been and still is a painfull chapter when it comes to OS2 and eComStation. So in this article we will primarily focus on how easy this RC1 release installs on various pieces of hardware."

I absolutely disagree. I don't give a damn about skins and themes and I consider that most of the modern ones are hideously ugly. They look like they were designed by 17 year old boys with the sophisticated aesthetic sense of a colourblind infant.
Most OSs and applications with skins look like horrible. There have been one or two good ones - Ubuntu's "human" theme is OK, Red Hat's "Bluecurve" was quite attractive. However, the only OSs which manage to look attractive are those which have no themes support and compel users to accept the professional look and feel the OS shipped with. Original BeOS was good; Zeta (I judge only from screenshots, it won't boot on anything I own) is tacky.
The best-looking OS of all time remains original NeXTstep.
Down with themes, down with skins. Compel all apps to a single unified look and feel and absolutely prevent users from changing it.
That's my £0.02's worth. :¬)
