Re: [Usability]Gnome file dialog improvement

[Chris Chabot <chabotc xs4all nl>]

While i see a lot of good things in this proposal, one thing that does 
distrurb me slightly is the over-use of bevels .. (toolbars, location 
bar, 'save as' bar..) This gives the apaerance of bevels on bevels on 
bevels, and can confuse the user.. (also the save & cancel buttons on 
the save-as animated gif are not 'buttons' ?)

All in all i feel the look becomes to multi-layered this way, and to 
confusing.

If you look at the OsX & WinXP you will notice that the layout is a lot 
'plainer' and don't use bevels to seperate entities..

(didn't we go thru this with the 'newer' search dialog? It wen't from 
multi-beveled to a simpler layout, and now feels a lot better)
