Well, I agree, the no-border look is sexier, but it just annoys me
that the solution to something broken isn't to fix it, but to just not
use it.

Anyway, I've been playing with XUL all day and I'm really impressed by
it. It's XML is *much* more concise than that XRC crap. To give you an
example of how simple it is, I've recreated the "Images" and "Camera
and Lens" tabs in XUL, with no experience, writing it by hand in
emacs, in just a few hours.

The best part is that you can actually use CSS to control the look of
the widgets, which is an absolute godsend as far as reducing
redundancy in the XUL. Here's a couple screenshots for ya:

At this point I have no idea how hard it would be to code in the
actual functionality, but I'm having fun with this, it's so easy to
write and it looks good (yes, I'm a superficial bastard) ;)
