And here I was trying to decide if I could post about how flat out pretty the application had become, without sounding like too much of a suck-up. Seriously, between the new Allow L&F, the splash, the startup page, the settings panels reorganization, the new icons, and all the other little polishings, 5.0 has become a flat-out pretty application. As someone who spends about ten hours a day staring at one IDEA window or another, I figured I should let your graphics and usability people know how much I appreciate what they've accomplished.
Oh hell, I ended up sounding like a suck-up. Doesn't make it any less true or heartfelt.

Dave,
I was just talking about optical illusion.
I had to check, more than once, that the splash is a rectangle.

You must be using one of those old CRT :)
