Guillaume is quite right: the software list views are currently the odd
ones out, the only screens that don't show the background. Alexander is
also right, that we can't use the background with the current layout of
the list views, because the color of the gradient could interfere with
selection color.
Matthew McGowan and I discussed this a couple of weeks ago, and he has
begun work to show the first item of a software list view *below* the
bottom of the background, so that they don't clash (except for search
results, which should start at the top and have no background). Now,
this would leave quite a bit of empty space at the top. Fortunately,
though, this coincides with our desire to make departments and
subsections more attractive in general: that empty space can contain
subtle artwork (of the same style as the clouds) that matches the
department, e.g. pens and pencils in "Office", or lanes diverging and
merging in "Version Control".
So, I suggest we make this change early in the Natty cycle, giving us
time to organize that artwork.
