 Tor Browser developer here. I very much appreciate this work and I like
 just about everything is your wireframes. (You'll be happy to know that in
 the alpha we have already moved the checkboxes to the Preferences page as
 you suggest.) I think the awning idea is especially cool.

 I think the biggest thing holding us back is limited resources -- we are a
 very small team of programmers and we have to worry about security and
 privacy as well as UX. Some of these changes may be more practical than
 others to implement rapidly. For example, changing some icons and colors
 should be pretty easy. Creating a new interface for NoScript is a big job
 and probably requires the help of the NoScript author.

 That said, I do want to work on some of these things in the next months.
 Also, I'd like to invite you to our weekly
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorBrowser/Hacking#CommunicationMechanismsandMeetings
 tbb-dev meetings], in case you have time to attend and are interested.
