Hey everyone,

instead of yet another revert-commit-revert fight, here's a call for a 
vote on the matter of using the default OS widgets (buttons, dropdowns, 
etc.) or whether to style them via CSS.

The problems I have with styled widgets:

- The styled buttons look bad in Chrome/Chromium, Safari 3, and likely 
other WebKit browsers, due to the lack of antialiasing on rounded 
borders. I haven't even checked in IE.

- State transitions are far too subtle with the current styling. The 
hover can barely be made out, for example.

- The usability is worse than unstyled buttons, because people know 
their OS widgets and know how they look like and what behavior to expect 
from them.

- Lastly, I don't think they fit in with the rest of the admin 
(different border radius, different color, different gradient, etc.)


The only pro argument I could see:

- Make Habari look consistent across platforms. Doesn't resonate with me 
because I don't think Habari should try to appear as a separate 
platform. For me, Habari is an app.


So, votes please, everyone.

-Matt
