Well, thanks for all the good feedback. I have to agree with most of it - this piece ended being a bad decision, and of course adding some adornments ended up making it a bad idea with a pretty background (or as an old saying where I live would put it, You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig).
Anyway - will scratch that piece and try to focus on the Toolbar change. Will keep you posted.
