the triangles i don't like in this form. it's not that they are
triangles, but they look... strange. i *think* it's because of the
shadows. try this: http://dawn.dev.hu/~ice/tmp/wingdrop.png
the first two have most of the shadows removed, the third a bit less,
the fourth a bit less less, and the bottom one is the original.
upon closer look i think that your way makes the triangle "lift off"
from the surface, whereas removing a bit of the shadow makes more like
beveled than taking off.
Yes, actually I like the topmost one in your image the most. It doesn't look
very NeXT though, but I like it.
I actually don't know what the original rectangle shape is supposed to signify; to me it looks like a drawer which you can open and pick one item. I changed it to a triangle because that is what most people are used to.

certainly not. i don't quite understand what's wrong with the original
slider, but if the one in your mockup is the trendy today, i can live
with that.
The only reason I changed the slider is to try and make all the sliders/scrollbars look a
bit more consistent. The scrollbar with the "dot" in it seems to be the
standard NeXT scrollbar, so I figured that there is no reason for the slider to look
completely different.
Thank you for the feedback. I suspect that there will still be a lot of
touch-up as we come up with better ideas and a more consistent look. I still
busy with WButton and WLabel, so we have time to figure out the rest :)
