We can't have anymore art in Dapper at all, I think. Not even if we 
"really" have to. I think that the final RC has been fully built already.

Also, take your time. Remember, there's a lot of theory in design as 
well, so you might want to go through your art with a checklist before 
calling it "done". You don't usually call something done after a day of 
work, or at least I personally don't. Try to ask yourself everything: is 
the contrast right? Do the checkboxes and drop-down menus stand out 
correctly? Must I have a window border or not? What's the advantage of 
using dark title bar buttons with white symbols?

It'll likely take a while before we start discussing the roadmap for 
Edgy as central theme, so you can take all the time you want to perfect 
your design.
