Which leads us to the "aesthetic of ugliness" (-: which is also a
"legitimate" aesthetic category. I suppose here is word about
attractiveness more than about "beauty". If is attractive enough, it
doesn't have to (mis)use any beauty. But, attractiveness is an even more
uncatchable thing...

Hm, glyphs are just icon part of an interface, and although the use of
TB is this way significantly painless, for one's eye, it still needs
more to achieve a "usual beauty" level. They could steal GUI stile of
the old Netscape Messenger (looks like classy "mercedes"), or simply
analyze GUI of KeyNote, which is open source software, and looks quite
fine (doesn't "hurt" any aesthetic sense...or organ, if any; really, is
there some "center" in the brain, or elsewhere, in charge with
aesthetics?).
