About that "attracting the eye" -- in kontact, when I accidentally move the 
mouse (or even on purpose) over the labels, they flicker in a mid-gray; in 
the file dialog the labels don't flicker. Personally, I can do without 
flickering of any description, especially in Kontact.

As for aesthetics: currently the background of the thing is the same colour as 
the background of the curiously disfunctional splitter that separates the bar 
from the content area, which makes the slader hard to see and, worse, makes 
it look as if the dark grey selection rectangle isn't drawn quite correctly.
