I like the window border but I am not a fan of metallic grey menus with 
distinctive block edges. I find it reminiscent of the old drab GNOME 1.x 
themes. This theme is very distinctive unlike the usual blue which means 
that people would actually notice it and would like to have strong 
opinions about it on either directions.

I also think that the "bubble" them and the uniformity of it across 
everything in FC5 was pretty nice though we could improve that in say 
window border where it makes sense.

How about we refresh the look and feel (grub splash, rhgb, gdm, 
background, openoffice.org template, window spaces) for every release 
that evolves around a different entity like a bubble each time. We can 
be more evolutionary with the window manager theme and icons though 
having a distinctive and bold look is representative of Fedora IMO.
