       | This takes too many design cues from so-called "modern" web and
       | mobile apps. What's with the lack of scrollbars in all the
       | windows/dialogs? I can't tell that content has been truncated
       | when a dialog opens up with the overflow ending on whitespace
       | between two elements. There's also no fade or shadows, so
       | everything is just suddenly cropped where a window ends. It's not
       | even clear which elements have their own viewports and which are
       | scrolled together (so I missed extra elements in the settings
       | toolbar/toolbox on the left). All the windows open up very small
       | (too small to fit their content) even though there's room for
       | bigger.

         | window title bars with usable controls.
