However I still feel that it is very corporate at this point. The thing
is I can't think of a specific way to break out of that paradigm with
this design. Maybe the long edges need to be roughened up a little in an
'ar...tis..tic' kind of way. Think high school Goth rebellion or
abstract synthetic noise art.
Usualy I try to avoid things that could distract from the actual
content too much. If it shall be accesible, table-less, hack-free
css and even work in the POS Internet Explorer ...

to get inside the head
of a typical Linux audio user and find the common ground the makes us
all continue to use this platform and hopefully explain to people why
they should feel comfortable migrating without having to actually
explain it.
I wonder if there is such a thing as a typical Linux audio user. Things
as having fun seeing how things work might be somewhat common, but visual
preferences can be expected to vary almost as much as musical taste.
Using the design to get some message across is a nice idea.
Patrick, all in all I think you overestimate the importance of the design,
and I say that as a designer ;)
Anyway, next one and I think it's too disco and by tomorrow I might hate
it:
