I'm not disappointed in the slightest - my code made it into the development trunk, so I'm happy.
I do think it would paint Haiku in a better light if along with all the usual rhetoric of "fast, easy-to-use, functional" and expounding the benefits of all the features it offers we have a relatively spiffy interface to show off, as opposed to the "grubby" widgets we currently have.
I consider BeDecorator a branch where we can safely develop a working replacement for DefaultDecorator without interrupting the course of development on other things (nobody wants to have to use a broken decorator when they're working on other parts of the UI :P).

Thomas, please don't be disappointed. Your (after) screenshots looked decidedly cleaner and far more reminiscent of default R5 IMO. There is a (fairly) recent topic on the forum which discussed this very issue. The current Haiku window control widgets DO look grubby, this was agreed by a fair number of posters to that thread (myself indcluded).I'm fairly sure that your skills and UI propensity (sp?) can be used to great advantage once we and the UI is just a little further down the line! Your input is well recieved.
