Comment (by pulkomandy):
I don't agree that our look is "dated". During the 2000s everyone used
round corners, gradients and mostly monochromatic schemes. Then everyone
got bored with that and switched to plain squares, plain colors, and more
colorful themes (look at iOS 6 vs iOS 7 to see what I mean).
I think the Haiku look is quite close to the perfect balance between these
two extremes. As an evidence, after getting a lot of requests for more
round corners and gradients in the UI for 10 years, we are now getting
requests for more colors instead (such as this new blue highlight for menu
items).
My opinion on this:
* We can leave the border color change out for now, there are too much
people not wanting it, and the very bright yellow color may distract the
eye from the more important parts (what's inside the window).
* The success/failure colors are ok for everyone.
* The menu highlight change is ok, but we should try to match other
shades of blue used in the system (mainly the keyboard focus indicator).
It might make sense to use the blue from http://clrs.cc/ (this is where
success and failure comes from).
