Is this the right approach? It seems to me that the look of individual widgets should be the last thing we think about. Shouldn't any conversation with a view to designing a new look start by identifying usability goals, problems with current implementations, and potential solutions? Visual stuff should come dead last. Is there no established lifecycle process to be followed for this kind of design? I don't think any discussions from the starting point you've established will be helpful. -- Gabriel Bauman
