I pretty much agree that it's ugly, as is most of the desktop. We don't have the design skills to fix it however. We really want something plain/uncluttered and fast/low-memory, and the desktop setup we have is the best we could come up with using our meager artistic ability. Using something plain and conservative keeps us safe from horrible mistakes. ;-) Will probably get an artist to help us sometime, but not for this release.
