Login manager and rhgb panel

The current versions of the "rhgb" progress bar panel and of the "gdm" login panel show additional blue frames along the border. This looks quite "baroque" and makes the whole thing look cluttered. Any reason for this useless decoration? The rather dark background of the panels already provides a clear contrast with respect to the lighter background. "More" is not necessarily better, right?
I also wonder if the current trend to "photorealistic" artwork, i.e. the cloud in the "rhgb" screen, is really the way to go - quite massive ...
The latest "RHEL5" artwork appears to be rather unobtrusive [even less than "FC6" apart from the red colour scheme] and is in sharp contrast with the "XP" style towards which "Fedora" artwork seems to evolve.
