As you have seen gtk themes are my specialty :) I can help with the theme and I have send a pdf document to #gnome-shell about perspectives of integration between the shell and gtk and the new file browser. I agree with you about the menus but we should not be too drastic with such kind of stuff because sometimes pictures help a lot for the usability if are amongst items with no images. Could I even suggest to remove the menubars and make a new control like entry in which you type the first letter of a menu and the corresponding submenu would appear beneath. Still there would be a way to get the whole menu listed somehow. I attach a preview of my idea. In it the submenu is not complete but you get the general idea. http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/5066/newmenus.png > > * New look & feel for the website.

I'm interested in that design for dialogs. What is this exactly? I can help with the games and definitely with the shell and journal.
