This is really going bike shed... To me the difference in desirability
between rectangular and rounded buttons is insignificant. (Though as I
said before I find nothing wrong with rectanguilar ones.) And if the
reason for going round is that "Everybody else is doing it", that's a
non-reason... I'd think it was far more important to get a *really*
stable system *first*, before thinking about prettyfying it. We need a
scheduler that doesn't priority-invert, for instance (hopefully nearly
there on that one). And we shouldn't even think of making any changes
that might break current apps. That's the way I see it, anyway. --

The coolest aspect of collaborative development is that improving one
area often does not come at the expense of improving other areas. One
side-effect, naturally, is that the most desirable features tend to get
done first, regardless of importance. Which is why you always need a
coordinator or coordination methodology...
That said, however, considering the work apparently quite well along,
I'd opt for a checkbox in Appearance somewhere that gave a choice
between the traditional appearance of BeOS - and a new, somewhat more
stylish, appearance.
Haiku will need include no other utilities - ThemeManager can be brought
fully up to do date, or something new can be made. Either way, a means
to swap be_control_look needs to be implemented by someone at some point...
