Granted, you got me there, but even then there are differences: - top text is different font and alignment - spring-ws has powered-by icons, batch has none (this is a part of the skin, so I doubt if they use the same) - menu naming is completely different If you want, I can whip up a variant that uses the same colours as the current spring site. By the way, did you know 5% of the male population has problem seeing the colour green, and 1% percent can't see green at all? So a green skin is an overall bad idea...
