But personally I have my top panel 100% transparent. I do this because I like to have striking background images and I don't want a top panel to disrupt that. Perhaps that's probably more of a KDE-appropriate mentality, but hey, I have a thing for GNOME!
I will throw in my vote that I find this mockup gorgeous. The rounded corners might have technical limitations but that's going to be a hard sell with newbies. This groundbreaking OS Linux doesn't have a window manager that can round corners on windows? Right-angle corners will look pretty Redmond, era 98.
