I've tried a lot of things ;-) and they basically all fail on esp. the oxygen 
style It has a strong top light glow, why i e.g. had to make the gradient 
_really_ translucent, otherwise everything looks out of place.

Sunken gradients didn't work for similar reasons as they either break the 
light model or just flatten that area (compensating the light)

Personally i prefer color manipulation (in particular invasion...) but that's 
not the point :-)

I think the main goal is to set the toolbar away from the lower area and this 
will always look dull as long as those rounded frames remain.
(have a look at the top of the splitters, they trigger little jumps bedcause 
of the rounded adjacent area)

What could (or rather should) be done is to invoke the bg color (the gradient 
runs to black what triggers the metallic look in leo's shot)
