I think the difficulty here is to look "contemporary" and yet fit every 
platform Emacs is run on. Button widgets look different on each. Even 
between GUI toolkits. And change between releases.

The other option, of course, is to look both modern and unique, but it's 
a harder proposition, especially without a graphical designer on the 
team. And this stuff gets outdated quickly.
