my personal impression was that it was not quite subtle enough. the contrast 
is rather high and this can be distracting (at least at first) ... perhaps 
some colour tweaking is called for here.

that said, i'm reminded of the "titles in the K Menu" discussion: it is rather 
different than what you see elsewhere, has usability benefits and was not 
liked at first because it wasn't the usual look but there's hardly ever a 
peep against it to be heard now.

innovation? if something makes it inhospitable to the majority of our new 
users then that's one thing, but simply being different is not an argument in 
an of itself IMHO.
