Just wanted to say that it sure looks very nice. The only thing that I
sortof notice is that while the new scrollbar and the buttons are very
.. how do you say .. smooth in its design - the circles around the
Windows-buttons feels "jagged" and not as smooth. Ehm? :-)

Anyway, really good work! I would assume we will take a good look at
these enhancements and figure out the best way to package them.

A little idea in this respect: Instead of having all these little nifty
Morphic enhancement packages swimming around wanting to get into Morphic
- and people fighting over them etc, perhaps we could create a "Morphic
Bells & Whistles" package and collect them all in there?

A sortof big addon-package that could collect all these enhancements and
make sure they play well together. This way we can perhaps keep the
original Morphic lean and mean (hehe, well, don't laugh - you know what
I mean) and still have a package where acceptance of these new things
aren't a big deal.

Well, just an idea.

regards, Göran
