Thanks for your inspiring thoughts on this.
I'm really glad that you are involved in all discussions on the more 
complicated easy changes ... that reduces the risk of ending with with a 
cacophony of different cool changes on an 'old lady' - no offence 
intended ;-)

If a discussion like this ends in something that is doable, I am all for 
it. If it tends to a corner-case, I would go for lots of smaller 
improvements, rather than one or two big ones. Just to say it black and 
white.
So in this case, the initial proposal solves a problem.
Fading icons and frames for docking toolbars are way more complicated ..

Well, we've talked a moment about this in Paris. And please take into 
account that my vision is heavily influenced by my long years experience 
with too much of the one and too little of the other...
Which makes me far more attracted by the easy, fast, then to the other 
possibilities.

Pls do not let yourself be held back by this. Where possible, I'll try 
to give my bits ;-)

Warmest regards,
Cor
