I like the looks of this, but since I suspect it's an area where
reasonable people may disagree I'd suggest you do two things.  First,
I'm pretty sure the GUI is currently done with sloppy nonstandard
HTML.  If you were willing to clean it up, - doing testing with a wide
variety of realworld browsers to ensure it at least degrades
gracefully, - that would be most welcome.  Second, after you do that
it should be easy to let the user "reskin" the GUI with custom CSS,
and we could make your style the default without annoying people who
liked it the old way.

Please forgive if this is incoherent, I'm very tired.
