| This takes too many design cues from so-called "modern" web and

| 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.

  | Well they did get at least one thing right: actual discreet
