About everything: Wow! It looks neat!

About the text: second last is the best IMO.  Readable and doesn't obscure 
the map as much as the first two.

Unrelated (or not?): the scrollbars in the bottom right corner are ugly.  
Can you not remove the bars and add the arrows just like bottom left and 
bottom middle?  Or is this window gonna go altogether?

Sorry about asking questions without reading up...
