- there is no (0px) spacing left in the upper and left edges of the pile. One 
pile element less?
- the main element border is lighter than the pile borders

When we implement this, as discussed, in the ImageFilterModel, we will be 
able, through some whitelisting, to "fan out" a pile dynamically

Is this drawn only when one item of the group is selected? The colors are 
suggestive of that. In any case, colors must be taken from the theme.

Is it possible to draw the "edges" (left side first picture, right side last 
picture of group) differently? Perhaps some rounded rects and or gradients.
I'm not a designer, I can only say if I like something when I see it, I dont 
know how to code what I like in advance ;-)
