Trip, is there enough mouseover-type feedback to allow for truly dynamic user interaction? (I'm thinking of that nifty application-launcher-type thing on Macs -- don't know the name of it -- that swells as the mouse passes by) It would be great to be able to select a "mode" (like browse comments or inspect attached data) that would allow for immediate feedback as the mouse passes over, instead of requiring that the dialogs to be opened and closed when you're looking for something.

There is a temporary preferences page at the root of the preferences dialog called "Graphical Editor" that lets you switch your theme. You have to close and reopen your applications for the theme to take affect. I've tried to illustrate some of the capabilities of the theme system by changing the line pointer artwork, adding a directional tick to line segments, and changing the way the elements are visually displayed. This is just the tip of the iceberg however as the theme system has full control over not only look but the feel of the elements on-screen. I'd like to open up discussion on how this capability might be extended to the dialogs that show the various properties of the elements as well.
