IMO the panel in the above mockup looks quite washed-out. who agrees
translucent panels look a little milky somehow? what material is the
panel and the window title supposed to be made of, polyethylene? why are
they transparent, what use does it serve other than proving it's
possible? 

that said i think the yellow tabs and notifiers are better in the above
mockup than seen elsewhere, offset nicely by the grey-brown. 

overall, where that Ibex mockup lacks in vibrance it makes up in class,
save the dock at the bottom, which is simply unimaginative. 

my 2 bytes,
