About Amarok's interface design (follow up)

Wow!
You totally get my vote for this. I like a lot the flat-but-not-flat
look, without oxygen's thick round borders that I always hated with a
passion.
We might tone a bit down the transparency of the three panels to
improve text readability, but other than that, I love it.
Cheers
Téo
