I think there's quite a few people who'd be willing to help Jim with TCY
I have a pretty extensive art background, and I appreciate well-done graphic design and a cool interface as much as anybody, but I found I really liked the clean windows-look of FOF2. It was easy to navigate, easy on the eyes, all the things that are important. I should withhold judgement until I see it, but I suspect I'll be disappointed with the new look of FOF2001.
My $0.02 for Jim and TCY (and anything else he ends up working on) is the classic windows-look is good enough. Now, if he needs help on background graphics, I'm available...
