[PD] That's a surprising new look

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

The one part of presentation that I was intrigued by is the idea of  
separating the interface from the implementation. I think it's  
interesting to explore the idea, I just think that having the only  
connection be that little fade effect when switching is not really a  
strong enough connection.  It would only be at all effective with a  
handful of elements, more than that, I think it would become hard to  
track.
