Please, kind sir, just where, if *ANYWHERE*(!), did you read that these concept skins represented the final version of the default GUI design? Or is it appropriate to call in an air strike, on your location, with a Fuel-Air munition loaded with Preparation H?
You seem to be stuck, in an obsessive-compulsive manner, on the faint and unlikely possibility that this somehow represents the final version of the GUI design, and that AI, in some fit of gross misguidedness and incipient stupidity, should stop all development and hold some kind on in-house skinning contest, until someone comes up with the final design, kind of like the old "Million Monkeys, Million Typewriters" kind of thing. I mean, who needs the damned thing to work. Just as long as it looks good: good being quite subjective and your idea of good possibly being not one bit the same as anyone else on the planet, a possibility I am quite prepared to consider.
But consider this, oh exercised one: Let's say the thing is skinnable from soup to nuts, world+spavined dog. Let's say they want to ship this thing with a *SELECTION* of looks that the users can choose from at any point after installation. Let's say that their hearts are also pumping blood to their brains and they see such a situation offers them a way to make some points in a completely different market: the sK1nN3rZ community. Let's say that to make some waves there, they decide to run a contest, where the 5-10 top submitted skins become the core of the skins that ship to end users, in the OS installation. Lets say that in the skinnerZ community, this causes a lot of interest and a epidemic-scale outbreak of tumescence in that market?
Let's say.
Perhaps you could be so kind as to try and poke holes in such a scenario? Don't get a hernia in the process.

<ahem> Ohhhhhh, Slaaaappy! Come back to earrrrrth! It's a conceptual design. Please, do yourself a favor: look up conceptual. Plenty of places on the web where you can get a clear, concise and correct definition of the word.
Your digestive tract will thank you, as many others of the assembled will no doubt do, also. |
