I am glad the MS is taking steps forward with 6.5.x (very easy to skin, uses png's with transparency layers) but it still has its limitations and at this point is mere babysteps as to what you can do on other OS's
once again Im talking pure visuals and eye-candy here. Not important to everybody but it really is something that bothers me
sidenote:eventhough its imitation you wont find anything like this for windows mobile that wont bring the device to a crawl. just to show a mix of eye candy and functionality

If you're running TF3D, you can use png images all day regardless of what it's running on top of (WM 6.1/6.5/6.5.x) as long as you know how to convert the images to manila files. Spend 5 minutes reading how to modify manila images and you can have as much or as little eye candy as you want. There also may not be many taskbars posted here, but once again, take a few minutes, learn how to make a 32x32 icon and you can have any color combos that you want with any graphics that you want as well. It may take a little bit longer, but there can be way more "eye candy" had in WM in my opinion, and far more options with layout if you use a different interface (TF3D, Titanium, SPB Mobile Shell) that anything I saw in the thread you linked to. The only thing you won't get is the text rendering, which is nicer on Mac based software. If you want a truly customizable interface and user experience, I'd say that WM is probably the better option as you can change nearly everything about it for colors and icons. You can even set custom icons for program launchers so you don't have to see the program icon that is associated with the exe or program itself.
