maybe i'm a fan of simple look, but the new buttons also don't look  
appealing for me. they are better though.

hm, in my mind was a seperation by space. the banner is already a quite  
active area, with loads of information. i would try to "dock" it to the  
right side of the layout. but i'm not a designer, so i don't know, what's  
best.

some of the site's you have posted, also are not consistent with the same  
look of main menu and sub menu. the menus are navigating on another level,  
so they  should be separated visually and not only by position. i wanted  
to sugest a bar similar to [8], but compared to qt the sub menu is simply  
a tab widget.
also here, i'm not a designer, so maybe i'm talking bullshit.
