The bitmaps are screen shots, and my resolution is 1200x800 nothing extreme.
I've taken the bitmap and i've used Photoshop to reduce their size but i'vent applied any kind of filters.
Probably is the natural antialiasing in the GUI.

Indeed my proposal is to keep dialogs in separated files as they are now, and glue them in the tabbed dialog.
I've changed only one dialog keeping wxDialog with some side effects, just to do this mockup, indeed in the proposal they are to be converted to wxPanels, and should be done easly with wxFB.
Base "Glue" dialog will placed in the common library and each application will have its dialog based on it.
Configuration dialog will have a second constructor passing the applicationwindow and the wxNotebook that will be the real father.

Hoping that helps to describe better the implementation..
