I don't know how I feel about the artsy theme that mark just linked<br>
(reminds me of a crappy imitation of WMP), but I am adamantly against<br>
the white. Look at this screenshot where the playlist isn't full:<br>

Also notice the conspicuously empty bottom half in the <a href="http://last.fm" target="_blank">last.fm</a> service<br>
tree. Also notice the awful transition from the grey QGroupBox to the<br>
white treeview.<br>

It makes me feel like I have Kate open or something and should start<br>
typing in it.</blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I agree.</div><div><br></div><div>I think we should work to change it from the flat grey we had before. I think we all have different axes to grind. I'm just pretty sure the plain white is in the direction of more blandness rather than less. I think mark's screenshot is a little....over the top. But I confess that i'm no designer, so I don't know what the best thing to do right now is. I think we should solicit some ideas from people who have more experience in graphic design :)</div>
