Sorry about my brain fart.Isn't that the point of a toolkit -- to provide cosmetic fripperies?
Or am I missing something?
Probably the latter as I use DWM...
I had the misfortune to try an Elementary OS install. Like Gnome last time I tried it, it was like swimming in treacle. Offering very little more than a slick theme at the expense of a lot more bloat and memory consumption. I would say the same about QT. In a Moore's law kind of way designers expect computers to have more resources they design interfaces that need more resources. In short pretty, slow and no easier to use than what had existed before.
I run windows maximized most of the time so how pretty the interface is while important to me is not the be all and end all, the interface does not exist to look at in the way most users think or are used to.
I use fittstool http://code.google.com/p/fittstool/ To launch my commonly used applications I just point the mouse and click and things happen. Point and scroll the mouse wheel and the volume changes.

It takes a little learning but it's a pleasure to use and so much easier than pointing and clicking on a small panel or menu icon or using a run dialog. Though I still have both. A panel to show running applications and save me using ALT-TAB, and a hidden fbpanel for a dynamic menu for less used items. Just because I'm lazy
