[interfacekit] some prefs issues

Hi there,

after the recent and not-so recent updates of some prefs up, I have 
several issues I'd be glad to clear:
1) could we join the different UI related preferences applications? 
There is ScrollBar, there is Menu, Appearance, etc. - there is too much 
of them IMO.
2) could we not break standard UI design with our (system delivered) 
applications? I am mostly thinking about "Appearance" here and its 
misplaced menu bar, but also the circle that shows the currently 
selected color as it looks "foreign" - it doesn't fit into the design 
of the other widgets.
3) could we please, please, pretty please not introduce fixed-size 
knobs in scroll bars into OpenBeOS? Also I think we shouldn't allow for 
separate skinning of the scroll bars as well, because I can't see how 
that is different from any other UI component. I wouldn't even add the 
possibility to change between single and double arrow styled scroll 
bars; sometimes people just don't know what's good for them.

I'd be glad to hear your thoughts.

Bye,
   Axel.
