i totally agree w/ steven. on a full-height window on my 15" powerbook, nearly the top 1/4 of the screen is taken up by navigational cruft that could easily fit into 1/8th of the screen instead (if not less). there's *tons* of wasted screen real estate here.
First, thanks *very* much to those who are putting so much work into theme design. I'm a decent coder, but I stink at graphic arts, so your efforts are deeply appreciated here! Constructively speaking, I agree with Derek that there needs to be less white space and other non-essentials at the top of the page. This is especially true since laptops and monitors seem to be headed toward a wide-screen format to support multimedia. Even traditional screens are wider than they are tall, so vertical space is at a premium. I like both Farsheed's and Trae's work but do think that leaner-is-better for most design decisions in a *default* theme. For non-default themes, other considerations may override this.
