What is the next big thing in skinning?

Longhorn lights the way?

The GUI skinning thing has been going strong for the past 4 years. But what's next? What is Longhorn going to bring to the table? How will it affect skinning?

Where do you think skinning should go next?

I'm hoping that alpha transparency becomes available to more skinnables in the near future. That's the coolest thing I've seen in skinning since the I first saw it on Sonique 2. Drop shadows and anti-aliased skins. It doesn't get better for me :)

Windowblinds border transparency. Thats it. Thats HUGE. If it happens.

Even a seperate version of Windowblinds, out of the main roadmap, would be HUGE.
