A few rounded corners and shadows can make a big difference. I think
the UI is still too flat and could stand out a bit more, like Mac OS
9.

I didn't see any shadow around the menu...maybe that would also be a
nice touch. I think that the top right corner of the menu should be
straight so that it is aligned with the bottom of the menu bar.
