  Is WIR "Work In Revision" or "When It's Ready"?
  
  This is significant as 9.5's skin was definitely not a "revised work" of the 9.26

  That's what I was hoping it meant. The talk of incremental tweaks made me think of the former meaning though.

  Funny, With Opera 8 I was using BeOS skin, because default one did not apply to my taste. Now, with Opera 9 I'm using tweaked and slimmed default skin of 8. };>

  I just hope Opera used native skins *automatically* according to the operating system (ex. Ubuntu theme on Ubuntu, Vista skin on Vista, etc...)

  There's a native skin option. I prefer this as it means more focus is put into the more interesting non-native skin, but there's always a native skin if you want one.

  @calande: yeah, that would be neat.
  
  Also the skin changes for 10 are neat, looks much more polished than the 9.6 (although I can only compare a windows-VM (Op 10) with a linux-host (Op 9.6)

  @lucideer: For Windows and for the Mac, but not for Gnome or KDE.
  
  Also, on windows, the native theme isn't applied by default.

  I like the actual 9.64 skin version.
