Hi guys!!

Well, i really liked it, 
but i'd like to put my suggestions on improving it:

Like Christian said beforely, 
A darker scrollbar has a better contrast with the files box, 
it looks better and helps to differentiate the files box from the rest
of the dialog.

Two suggestions about the top left icons:

1- Let them at the top left and put them within abox;
It would make stood out better (like the home, desktop, floppy, etc
box below of it). They look loose without it.

2- Put them at the right top of the dialog with a box around it;
The advantage of it would be for newcomers, as windows (and i guess
macs too) has it in this fashion.

These are my opinions as a user;
As a geek i would say: 
"to the hell with it, it's just aesthetics" ;-D

Best to you.
Fabricio "Segfault"
