I just noticed that the inspector has acquired a new settings pane, and thought I'd document my thoughts on it.  Alas they aren't positive, but i'm hoping that this is merely an intermediate UI being used during bring-up of a well designed interface.

* The basic theme and style of the entire pane clashes with the inspector, rather than fitting in cleanly
  - We don't use black overlays anywhere else in webkit
  - We don't use yellow for highlights anywhere else
* The layout leaves large gaps, and feels unbalanced
* The font sizes and styles don't seem to be used anywhere else in the inspector
* The masthead doesn't look good
  - The close button is oversized, and the cross looks off-centered
  - The font used for Settings is bigger than any other font i've seen anywhere in the inspector
* I can interact with elements of the inspector that are out side of the bounds of the settings pane

Like I said above, i'm hoping that this is merely a transitionary look, because currently it actually looks bad :-(
