Not trying to keep this thread going, but more as a matter for the
creative team, I think the problem with "looking crooked" is the fact
that there a multiple light sources in the gui.

Windows have a light source from the top left, giving the drop shadow
Buttons have a light source from the top right
Checkbox has a light source from the top left
Menu has a light source from the top
Tracker volume view has a light source from the left
and so on.

So, if we are going to do shading, we should at least have one
consistent light source.
