I like it though, even if it does not fit with the current trademark.

Ken: you obviously know your way around a graphics editor. How do you
feel about doing some other artwork that we are currently missing.
For instance: we have background images for the browsers (media
sources panel) but not for the (if empty) context view nor playlist.
Such images would be really welcome to break the "ocean of grey"
effect when there is no content.
We sort of have a house style for those, but if perhaps you can make
the other images fit the oxygen style as well.
