As Jean had mentioned before, when is not so clear which solution is better, it's a good idea to wait on a decision until the right answer becomes apparent.

I get exited about this whole thing and tend to take sides rather promptly, (sorry about that).

Now that I've got a chance to get away from this for a day or so, I'm getting a different feel for alternatives 5 and 6.

I'm noticing a certain sense of distortion on alternative 5 caused by the lack of round corners, as if the border buttons warp slightly (of course this might just be me), I'm also looking at it on my computer monitor, the effect might be different on the actual device.

Today I find alternative 6 to be more stable looking, a bit more coherent and structured. The corners actually seem to help.

At this point either one is a very good alternative. I've expressed my impressions on both, in favor and against hoping these might be
helpful reference.

If anyone else has a preference either way, this looks like the time to bring it up, otherwise it looks like it'll be up to Jean and Emmanuel (I don't know if someone else might be envolved on this) to make a decision.

I sure would be interested in knowing what the deciding reasoning is, because I respect your intelligence which reflects in your product.

Sincerely,

Erwin
