CF is just a few features short of being the end all, be all (IMHO).

You give me too much credit as a "GUI Designer". I'm relatively new to the industry and just stumbling through doing the best I have and trying to develop my meager talents into a marketable commodity.

I find stamps "SWAT" theme very appealing. I like the monochromatic look, symmetry. SWAT's elegance is it's simplicity.

IMHO, once a GUI template becomes more and more "stylized" (or personalized) you are effectively increasing the "ooh ahh" factor for a percentage of the potential market, another percentage will like it less and the rest will be indifferent.
