I like the looks of the first one also.

hightlighting.
I have created a collection of mockups with different panel dividing
methods. Note that I have'nt changed any button names or placements yet..
Here is the old method I made with a box around the panel:

This is simple, and I quite like it.
Here is a variation, only with lines between the panels:
http://www.shadeless.dk/editbuttons2_linedivide.jpg
This isn't very good I think. We need to have a border all around the
panels so that we can very clearly properly see what is collapsed, and what
is not.
And last, here is a version with the boxes as fills:

I quite like this too. It is quite clear. Ofcourse, we could always change
the coulours (some may think the backgroiund colour is now too dark). Maybe
the contrast is a litlle exagerated, but at least it is clear.
