New look doesn't necessary means better look

Hi Yoshiki,

>   Narrower scroll bars aren't very easy to use...

The scroll-bar sizes are based on the size of the font you use.  The new look&feel base most (if not all [*]) sizes in the size of the default font, assuming that if you use bigger fonts you need bigger widgets.

The current default font size is a little small for 1024x768 resolution.

See how looks with bigger (and TTF) fonts in Small-Land image:

You know how difficult is to satisfy everybody in aesthetics things. 

Cheers,

Diego
