Skylights? Anyone Ever Mix Venting Type with Fixed in same room?

I'm wondering how this idea would look and I am wondering if anyone has ever seen a similar layout .....
A LARGE room with high vaulted ceilings ....
I am picturing putting in 3 skylights that run parallel to eachother but seeing as these critters are quite pricey I was thinking I could get away with using two of the fixed type windows and have the middle one be a venting type of the same size.
Only problem I am having trouble visualizing is the part about the vented windows having a little less visible glass showing then their fixed cousins, maybe a couple of inches in either direction.
With the windows near eachother and running parallel, would that look stupid or would it blend together and be unnoticable?
Anyone ever see such a layout?
