The look of GUIs are a topic will you never agreement on because a lot
of it is personal preference. I think the best thing is to have a
preferences that allow you to fiddle with it (preferably behind an
"advanced" button to avoid scaring people!), beyond that I think the GUI
should be skinnable so you can alter it as you see fit.
Hiding things is bad UI design. I'm Ok with making the gui somewhat
skinnable (by code, not by ugly bitmap-based themes), but then just let
the user chose from some presets. You may want to look at Amiga MUI
preference panel to see what can be done. It allows you to easily
customize the look of every single widget and use either a vector-based
drawing, or a bitmap. People tend to use ugly bitmap just to show their
screen can use 256 colors, but I'm pretty fin with the default 256-color
theme.
Also, I think if we ever add shadows to haiku, they would not like blurry
like you did, but more like the ones we have for icons : precise, and only
to the down-right.
