Infinity GDM mockup

[César Brie]

I think the same thing as Martin about the borders... and let me add that the right border is (maybe one pixel) thinner than the rest.

Just my two cents to the design: I think the corners of the outer rectangle should be more rounded than those of the the inner one (when they are same it seems a little weird to me) like in my sixth mockup [1] and maybe the scrollbar would be better if it was in Nodoka instead of Clearlooks (so that the look would be more consistent with the rest of the artwork before and after the gdm). Didn't installed it yet, but the screenshot looks good so far (I'll try it in real probably tomorrow) :)

Thanks,
Martin
