[Bf-committers] UI changes from cycles branch

[Brecht Van Lommel]

Hi,

Panel headers a bit darker now and increased button embossing:

Before: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=19452
Latest: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=19501

I also like the icons to be a bit more muted, again to avoid them
grabbing attention too much with highlights. For me this is what
really finishes it off, to make the interface nice calm, but maybe
this is considered too dull.
