OK (I just like that term), I was looking at my screen trying to make up my mind about suggesting removing the blue highlight from the taskbar clock (because my screen wallpaper is black now, I'm not sure when the blue swoosh went away). Anyway, I'm noticing how the white text stands out against the blue background on the softkeys. And then it hit's me, what if the taskbar icon backgrounds were the same blue as the softkeys? I'm thinking we wouldn't have any of the "hard to read" issues we had when jstine first tried using a blue background.
Just something to think about for down the road (or did I read your mind again)!

Edit: But come to think of it, it might be to bright for some people's taste
