2d Art Style - Which do you prefer?

Miscellaneous Forums/Graphics Showcase/2d Art Style - Which do you prefer?

A lot of feedback on TriviaNet Challenge has been along the lines that the interface is too bland and too static. I can deal with static later, but for now, I'm seeing if I have a more acceptable style for the interface.

The original interface :




A full on shiny silver/chrome skin with a different background.




And a half-complete metallic skin




Bear in mind that the slider is enlarged somewhat to give you a better view of it. It won't be quite that big in place.
