Hi Bram,
Thanks for the feedback, and the time in taking screenshots and show us how a CSS tweaks can make a big difference. Really appreciate that.
We are still busy implementing all the committed features and probably have neglected some area and details. We have plans to polishing up the look and feed, like what you pointed out, and improve the performance of the console after feature freeze.
Thanks for the great support and the kind words on v2 admin console :)
thanks
Anissa.

Hello GlassFish team,
First of all I would to thank you for GlassFish, as a beginning Java EE developer it feels like a very solid application server, and I especially like v3 because it is so lightweight.
One thing I noticed with the new GlassFish v3 Preview is that the praised Admin GUI has changed quite a bit, and in my opinion it's not an improvement.
I attached the screenshots, you can clearly see that the Preview has way more padding around the main GUI elements (header, sidebar, body) and the fonts are bigger, so there is less information on the screen.
To illustrate what I am talking about, i attached three images,
gfv3-prelude.png - the interface we all came to love ;)
gfv3-preview.png - the interface with too much padding (imho),
gfv3-preview-fixed.png - the last interface, fixed with a few minor CSS tweaks.
I think that the last option is the way to go, please consider fixing the V3 Preview GUI, if you where not already planning on doing so.
The reason I'm emailing you is because I posted my displeasure on this blog [1] , there I got the advice of emailing you :)
I'm looking forward to your reaction,
Best wishes,
Bram Borggreve
ps. These screenshots are made on a Linux system with Firefox 3.5, but the problem is reproducable on more machines (including XP with IE8).
