speaking of usability, how about making the "ok", "cancel" and "apply" buttons the same size?

It'd make them more similar, which is bad for recognition. For example people get so used to clicking 'the small button' for 'OK' that they mostly don't read the text or look at the icon. This is a Good Thing.

    ... which makes it look like crap for my (very personal) eyes.

    Anyway, it's the issue widget style deals with. "OK", "Cancel" and "Apply" have same size in Light v3 I'm using.

    So, you find a good thing that the most used button is also the *smaller* one??
    You follow the 'sadistic user interface' guidelines?
