Hi,
Did anyone ever think of removing that bevel from the Gtk2 menubar?
Without the bevel, things become much nicer, see:

(top = current situation; bottom = ideal situation)
My biggest issue with the current beveled menubar is that it's hard to
create a nice looking ui, instead of easy (eg. when adding a treeview,
textview or whatever other widget with the option to put a bevel around it,
the result will look very amateurish)
Pros of a non-beveled menubar:
- A non-beveled menubar would not only look better, it would look less heavy
as well.
- Widgets like panes would look better.. (see screenshot)
- There would be no reason to use ***views without bevels anymore (or half
bevels like GConf, inconsistent from the rest of the ui)
- And most important of all: the ui doesn't look like something that's
patched together.
- It saves 2 lines of screen space, very important for those of us using
small resolutions :)
The bad thing is that it looks more like Windows, but I don't think that's a
good reason to ignore this (visual) bug.
Any thoughts about this?
