First there were ugly skins with no grads, then the grads came. Then the grads became more than just colors, but were still just grads. Finally there are now enhanced grads. What is next? I have a cool idea of what's next: Animated Enhanced Gradients, or AEG. B)

Imagine:

A skin with a metal type gradient that opens up to reveal the text, awesome. :D

Can this be done? Will it be done? What do you think is next for the skinning world? :o

I saw an animated skin from about 1 month but it was very simple..so you can make animated but it wont be good,cause whenever you need to load the page,you need to wait until the gradients load..that will be horible.

I think the future of skinning is here. I think that if we ever evolve beyond Enhanced Fancy {Swear Word} (EFS), then it won't be a large one.

I agree with James. And, anyways, even if the animated grads had almost no loading time, it would be kind of hard to get them to look good on a skin. Everything would be moving around, and it would get very confusing.

The point is, what's next? Animated grads was just an idea, not what this topic is about. Enhanced-Enhanced grads? lol

Maybe you'll be able to combine mods and css to make it so any grad with the little [X] or [ _] boxes like an xp skin will actually allow you to use them as buttons.
