Well, at least I can find the correct browser window quickly, as no other web 
site I know uses a colour scheme anything like this.  There's probably a reason 
why... :)

Looking at the layer in the UI from outer-edge to the inside, we've got:
- a grey background, with rounded corners.  The only reason for the outer grey 
background is to show off some rounded corners?  Nothing in this, except
  - a black-to-greeny-blue area with rounded corners.
    - Inside this are some logos, the player selector, the main music browser 
panel and Help and Settings icons.  The icons at the bottom seems like a waste 
to me.  Those buttons could be on the top between the SqueezeCenter and players 
drop-down, giving an extra 10% vertical space for browsing the music 
collection/viewing the current playlist.

I don't really see the point of nice rounded corners for dark grey on black, as 
most people won't be able to see them.

The rounded corners for the highlighting are filled in with a slightly 
different colour, so doesn't seem much point having rounded corners there any 
more.  White text on pale blue isn't generally a good idea for readability 
either.
