Hi Duarte

Apologies for the delayed response. These look good, thank you for sticking
with this task!

I think that what you've got here would make a terrific theme for TW5 but
I'm still concerned that it is visually distracting enough to overwhelm the
users content. When I do the "squint test" on the mockups I find the shadow
to be very prominent. It may largely be a matter of contrast but I think
it's also that the shadow doesn't have a strong meaning or purpose, it's
just there as a background for the tab menus. If one were to ruthlessly try
to remove everything that is ornamentation perhaps it would be the first to
go.

To me, the most prominent thing should be the individual tiddlers; the
display is a canvas for the user to display and manipulate their tiddlers.
After that there are two separate elements to the display: the
branding/identity provided by the title and subtitles, and the sidebar
icons/menus. The sidebar stuff needs to be usable but I think should be
visually subordinate to the branding.

It's a shame to be working on this remotely, this is the sort of discussion
that might be best bent over a table together with a pad of paper. Anyhow,
many thanks again,

Best wishes

Jeremy
