"more integrated"? i guess that's a matter of personal aesthetics, which i 
humbly accept as a very personal measure. hrm.

Andre: can we delay the UI portion to a discussion of reworking the applet

within a reasonable bound (e.g. 0.1 < opacity < 0.9, or whatever turns out to 
be visually useful starting points)?
