[haiku-development] Re: Refreshed UI look (initial patch)

Inspired by the "Haiku UI Mockup" thread in the community forums [1], I attempted to implement a refreshed look for Haiku's UI controls. I have posted a screenshot and the beginnings of the patch in a forum thread:

The patch is incomplete - as of now it only includes a refreshed look of the controls shown on the image - but I hope it is something to build up on.
Wow, I like it. Very subtle changes, but they make the controls stand out a little more from the rest. Gives it a very modern look. I agree a theming engine will be nice later, but considering the resources available for Haiku, tweaking the current UI to look a little better will be the way to go. I'm not sure if this possible, but perhaps you can make the gradients behind everything configurable. (By simply enabling/disabling them)
