 The button designs in MP6 have looked great and have fit WordPress greatly
 in the past few months. But I think some parts of the WordPress admin
 should/could start moving in a flat, more simplistic direction. This can
 be simply be started with a few minor tweaks to the very buttons that
 allow you to publish, save changes, etc. The current buttons have a box-
 shadow and a bit of a gradient look to them and I think we can go more
 simple that that. I think this will benefit the way WordPress is looked
 at. It gives WordPress a more modern, fresh feel. The amount of shadows on
 buttons and on button hover seem just a bit much. As I said before we can
 simply start with buttons and make them more flat (we could keep box-
 shadows, but make them cooler like in the preview changes button example
 below). Let's work together to make WordPress the best modern, clean,
 easy-to-use CMS of the future. I would like to hear what everybody thinks
 of this idea. I have attached screenshots for the proposed idea.
