As for a professional quality release, that will take rather longer. Well, we’ll probably have something to show people and let them try out in a week or two.

I'll take that look. I'm positive that we won't be sticking with images, because they don't scale all that well unless designed rather large. Okay, I see what you mean. I’ll take that look.

It's simply that I believe that Substance has grown to an impressive L&F implementation over the years, and any new effort should look closely at it and maybe gain some inspiration. Resolution independence is one nice feature that might not be crucial today, but mandatory in the future and therefore a valid concern during the planning stage. Maybe it could be beneficial to outline your goals and stir some discussion what should go into Sea Glass. Ultimately, it's your decision and I hope you find my rants not too annoying ;) No, no, don’t get me wrong, it’s perfectly fine to take a fresh start and I wholeheartedly applaud your efforts and looking forward to play with Sea Glass.

The visual appearance is not great, but under the covers, the implementation has a lot to offer. The developer surely does an amazing job. That’s why I suggested to take a close look at Substance.
