How about an entire control palette with simple controls? There are a few of these in the classic control palette, but there could be many more. The main idea is controls with a white background and a single pixel width black border:
Arrays and clusters with a single pixel width border.
Numbers, strings, paths all with single pixel width border.
Perhaps dials and sliders with a very simple black and white theme.
Graphs with single line border.
Error clusters and list boxes with plain borders...
Flat decorations like the flat box, plain arrows...
I think the idea is pretty clear. The main purpose is to be able to develop clean interfaces that are as compact as possible and look good. Everybody has dealt with putting a cluster within an array and wasting tons of space for borders. If nothing else, a way to create clusters and arrays with single pixel borders would be great.
