Yeah, the radial gradient could be nice. Can QML do radial gradients?

I have to add some explanation to that.

I&#39;m all OK with plain and simplistic, but not TOO plain and simplistic (aka, the \
Windows 8 and apple route). We don&#39;t live in a monochrome age anymore so i think \
the theme should retain &quot;some&quot; subtle color variations. Having said that, \
the current plain horizontal top gradient might be a bit too simple (as in not very \
stylish) as well. Take a look at this for example: \
http://paswall.com/black-wallpaper-6462-hd.html Ignore the texture, but you can see \
the subtle lighting in there. That&#39;s probably what the plain theme needs.

This is just my opinion (and i happen to hate iOS7 + windows 8 for their fugly \
themes). I disagree with the change, but understand it if you would push it \
regardless. The general design theme these days seems to be heading back to 16 color \
monitors anyway.</pre>  </blockquote>
