You really should. :)

Of course. T mostly use the Aqua set or some of Nowees cool themes.:)

Don't know as I don't use MCP.

The more toolbars the more comfortable I say.:) Have a look at some of my WB
screenshots (you also see PlayGUI and CoolCALC there):

There's also a description of some other tools I use frequently. Have a
look.:)

Yes, I like it, but it is too slow - that's why I use Win95. It is mainly
for bringing windows to front. But Wibby is cool too.

It isn't.:)

It has lots of bugs and isn't very stable - but it is nice, yes.:)

Of course! Please have a look at MysticView - it's the best viewer available
in my opinion. If you have problems regarding the default config copy the
original MysticView icon over your installed version. (I hope you know what
I mean with that when installing it.):)

It is cool!:) And skinnable!

No problem.
