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 was thinking bout this the other night. trying to make the killer skin in your head that will nevr be made sue to the complexity. you know the one ;) . Anyways i think we are almost at the most advanced grads we will reach. Ppl might try animated grads when there is no such thing as load times :P

Instead of going further with gradients, why not move more towards combining skins and gfx to full sets? There's an awful lot of people out there that would love to get full sets to just throw on their boards. The OSS, EFS difference should be put aside, there's so much more to use graphics for then making gradients.

Animations would look cool for a bit, then look annoying.

Some animations would get annoying. Not all.

if you did animations only have it move every little while. have a pause between the start and end. or have it go for only so long and not loop back ;)

Like a spark or a flashing text would work especially with what IcedBlade said.

I think it would only be good if it didn't loop. The animation only happened once while you were viewing the page.
