I really like the mockup by Dani, I don't think the colours/blockish look are important as these can be changed by a theme engine but the use of screen space is excellent. The mockup is far more readable and the extra borders in the current theme are a waste of screen space. I think these concepts should be incorporated into the current OpenMoko release.
