        Yes, if you are old media, I can see why you prefer screws and a switch.

        I rather have the switch embedded in the wall and the screws below the surface, and the surface be touch sensitive that changes color when on, and fades out when off.

        Some probably say it is overkill, I rather call it usable and intuitive. And it sure does look nicer in the living room. You can still see the faded switch in the dark, without it glowing too much, and once it is on, it's clearly on, and easy to spot to turn off.

        In regards to the chip that's probably there to make this happen, it will also allow it to be disability friendly, for example a beep when getting closer to it for blind people. A double and different pitch beep when using it .. (yes, blind ppl might have visitors and want the lights on).

        I hope you get my drift, and I hope Sophie can add to the UI of vBulletin, so we can move onwards with a 2010 interface, rather than continue with the 2002 one.

        I personally don't want ugly screws with paint on them in a plastic enclosure stuck on top of a wall with a switch that is featureless. But that's just me
        I, personally, prefer the new-wave light switches that don't even have a physical manifestation on the outside wall. Rather than a light "switch" as folk seem to call them nowadays, you can simply tap the wall and a sensor behind the wall recognizes this and turns on the lights. You can also slide your hand up and down the wall to dim it. No unaesthetically pleasing extrusions from my wall, and it thwarts everyone when they try and find the switch

            Back to the drawing board on that one.
            It does, but I was going off topic and talking about light switches, not UI's.
