The basic idea was to visualize the difference between "quickstart" and "all 
apps" in a graphical way. And to combine that with the sidebar-picture if 
it's activated without makin' it looking cluttered.

I think, the difficulty to read the menu items could be solved in one or 
another way.

For instance, the dark rectangle under "quickstart" could be coded with some 
"make it darker than the actual color"-code, like they do it with the icons.
(blue -> dark blue, red would become dark red and so on)

Or, second, the stripes Sander Devrieze mentions in the mail above could 
easily be changed by changing the sidebar-pic.

Third, one could use the new text-shadow-code from the "Desktop" or whatever.

I can't code, so my mail was only an idea to throw in.


Thank you all for that cool desktop environment you created,
Ralph
