iPhoto ‘06 displays a bezel listing where in the library you are when scrolling through the photo library. This navigation aid could be improved by displaying a frame around the listed group.

Warning! Large image ahead (613K).

iPhoto with group frame

The frame and deeper shadows would gradually fade a few seconds after the user stopped scrolling.

The screenshot is from a demo iMac, which explains the contrast between the professional shots outside of the frame and my photos (the overexposed/unfocused/hacktastic ones) inside.
