Oops :-)
Now, what about that darker default grey of DeskCalc? And it's ability to accept colour drops? Need an opener for your can? :)
I'm not fond of that either.
DeskCalc has this ability so it looks nicer when embedded into the Desktop. Keymap also shows the buttons with different colors, and it was even Axel who implemented that, if memory serves. And he went to great length to make the return key the shape that it is...
The whole point of the keymap is indeed to resemble the layout of the actual keyboard, there is nothing to argue with that. That's the only reason it exists actually. That doesn't mean it has to look 1:1 like a real keyboard; I could have taken a photo if I had wanted that.
I think since the color theme and overall look is still the same, I'd be OK with the round corners. But even better would be to have an alternative theme where menu fields and checkboxen and the slider thumbs also have round corners. Make it optional in Appearance.
Please let's not start with this. Make it an optional package, and even let Appearance switch to it if need be, but only if there is another theme installed in the first place - it should be completely invisible unless the user installs a new theme.
Bye, Axel.
