Damn this is the best yet. Some icons might be a tad too big, but the whole thing's so good it can't be ignored. It's the notch that makes the difference between a generic interface and one that complements the game. I mean, I'm having fun just to look at it.
But, lets leave style and esthetics aside for the moment. Still, by seeing both interfaces ingame, oltronix's one is clearly the winner. When I look at the screen with Elhoim's GUI, I find myself drawn to the interface rather than the gameworld. One of the reason is:

It's too bright, and blends badly. So much that it's a distraction. With oltronix's one, I'm looking at the gameworld alright, not distracted, comfortable. Even though the GUI is more interesting to look at. Add to that his edge in esthetics and icons, and his crisper version that addresses the bluriness...
Really, it's not so much about the fancy looks and graphic-whoring, but rather about reducing the intrusiveness of the interface, to harmonise it with the game as a whole.
