It's too much design. It's distracting. You notice it. Is the clip necessary? The lined paper background?
You notice the first time you use it. The 10th? The 20th? After you've used it for a while, it's just a nice detail on the back of your mind, and you're immersed in your text.
I've never seen a dialog box like that. What was wrong with the standard and universal "plain" native dialog box?
It was too plain and boring?
Besides being nice in itself, beauty also inspires productivity.
I don't think it can be both un-noticed after awhile and 'a nice detail in the back of your mind' - particularly since many users will not find it a 'nice' detail from the start. It might become a niggling detail, and that's not good.
Also, I've never felt 'bored' from seeing a native dialog box, and I've never thought of a paper clip on lined paper as a thing of beauty.
Neutrality for these kinds of quick-and-functional interfaces is probably the better UI design decision.
