This looks great! Some of my suggestions: - Light sources - from a design perspective, what direction is the light source? The styling of most widgets (including textbox, menu bar, stack panel, and buttons) implies that the light source is coming from the top part of the screen. However, the text-shadow in the CellTable headers, and the shadow in the pop up DialogBox implies that the light source is coming from the upper-left corner of the screen. It is a very subtle thing, but this should be made consistent (I prefer top light sources myself). - I'm not a fan of the text-shadow in the header of CellTable. With such a small font size, I think the effect comes across more as blurriness than a shadow. I think it should just be removed - DatePicker - the day of week labels (S/M/T/W/T/F/S) should be a bit stronger, and the days which are not part of the currently selected month should have a stronger 'greyed out' look, e.g.: by using a darker background. Generally, i think YUI 2's date picker looks really good - http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/calendar/quickstart.html - SuggestBox - can we use non-rounded corners in the suggest pop- up? Or, at the very least, changing it so that only the bottom two corners are rounded. - SplitLayoutPanel - I think it would look better if the splitter has a defined border. I like the look of the splitter used in android's documentation - e.g.: on http://developer.android.com/reference/packages.html and I think copying that would be an improvement - TabLayoutPanel - the dark blue background for the tabs looks very out of place, since it is so strong and isn't widely used in other widgets. Perhaps a simple grey would be better?
All that being said, we will be adopting the new theme regardless of whether or not you accept these suggestions, it is already a huge improvement.
