+1 for current skin.
Larry does cause us to long for slightly reworked icons in the original skin, but we feel the look-and-feel of Larry is "heavy" with it's bigness and dark greyness. I know it's already come up on the list, but where should we direct more specific feedback on Larry?
I also have some issues with the larry skin. It's definitely a nice skin, and kudos to the designer, but there are some details that irk me.
One is the location of the delete icon. I think it is in a pretty bad spot. It requires lots of mouse movement for people using the mouse (the majority, keyboard nav is generally only done by geeks actually coding on this stuff :) People tend to gravitate to the left side of the messagelist when clicking messages, so when they need to click delete, they need to cross almost the whole screen to reach the delete button. I know thunderbird has it on the right as well, but OSX Mail and others have it on the left. I think Apple puts a lot of thought into those kinds of things.
I think the searchfilter and messagetoolbar should swap position, and maybe move the search form to topnav on the far right since i dont immediately see a better spot, assuming we dont want it on the left (which i personally think is not a good spot).
