As #webOS was transitioning from HP's (poor) stewardship to LG's they imagined a modernization of the UI, called Mochi. Its the stuff of legend, since it never came out -- but I got it working here: stacks.webosarchive.org/mochi/
Re-imagined UI for the HP Touchpad, lots of white and gray with soft border transitions, and round images.
