maybe we should compare different screens, but i like the curvy lines 
so far.

for testing i could setup a screen in inkscape so you could easily
change and try different colors there.

therefore i'd need the actual color and opacity values you use
bang, object, cables, background, xlets, font
also the different state they can have
normal, active, rollover, error, highlight

maybe once it's set we could note all that in a "nova"-styleguide.

what do you think?

some input...


bang:

when looking at this screen it bothers me a bit that the bang has a
different background-color than the object's bg-color.


comment and background-color:

i like the box around the comment. on the 2 screens there are different
colors used. not sure which is the actual version. but i would prefer
a lighter border-color on a darker background.

in pd we used the cnv object a lot for layout of the GUI's
see also http://www.netpd.org/Screenshots (they are not very up to date)
it would be nice to have either a customizable comment or cnv object in
nova.


transparency:

the object transparency is a very sexy and improves the readability a 
lot.



btw: do you always reply to all or only to [email protected] ?
