Re: [e4-dev] a new look for the workbench

Hi, Patrick.
Would you mind commenting in the bug? [1]
Also, just wanted to say that the mockups were created by Linda Watson from IBM. She is a visual designer working with us on the "default styling" for the e4 workbench.

Hi Susan,

Thanks for creating the mockups. It's great to see some alternative looks. Here's my initial reaction.

1. I like the rounded corners and the general open feeling. I can see how this design would work well for Eclipse apps targeted at the web.

2. The flip side to this, though, is that the design introduces quite a bit of white space. I'm generally a fan of white space, but this might be too much for an IDE.

3. The design discards some boundary definition that I find helpful. Particularly in the editor tabs, where the class names all blend together.

These are just some initial reactions, and I'd be curious to hear what others think..

Regards,

--- Patrick
