[wp-design] Molly talks about WP2

Joshua,

Why are you commenting on current interface in 2.0
final? Can you address
your comment to current Shuttle's mock-up instead? Or
the whole thing you
said above still applies to current Shuttle mockup?

The bulk of my rant was to get some steam built for going simple and 
clean with the remaining elements (not the tabs, or "pods", as they're 
sliced and ready as I understand it.

If Wordpress 2.1 can look almost exactly like our shuttle screenshot, 
I'll be a much happier man.

* It'll be consistent in colors style and stuff
* It'll look like we actually put thought into it

If we could address the following issues as well, I'll almost be really 
happy.

* Icons
We need a common style on these. I'm LOVING the Silk icons everyones 
adopting. But no matter what we choose, they should have the same style. 
Example, the exclamation mark on the current write page compared to the 
"i" or "log out".

* Collapse icons are visually too indistinct compared to their importance

* If we could at all cut back on some of the blue, I think it'd benefit. 
Maybe remove the bar in the bottom? Maybe re-do the "code" tab, maybe 
(gasp), go gray on the background behind the shuttle logo?

Joshua, I know how hard you've been working on this, and I don't want to 
touch stuff that you've already gotten to work. The pods and the tabs 
are sacred, correct? Is there anything else that's "hands-off" for me?
