This is a work i have been practicing lately... i think Skype should do smth for their interface... there are so many applications now which have been design with great UX in mind, Twitter, Sparrow, Tweetie and many others.. Got inspired from some of those and thought to redesign some pieces of the Skype UI
I love this look. Is there a name for this new Twitter/Sparrow style (minimalist, primarily black & white, etc.)? Are there other apps out there that have this same look?
Uniformity in OS apps isn't a bad idea. :/ There's room for improvement, but a streamlined and uniform experience contributes to the cohesive whole that is the OS. Redesigning UI elements just for the heck of it is a bad idea, especially when it's changing the color-balance of each individual window.

fine in concept, but i still think the traditional 2 window approach is better than any unified window.
