Development notes

Colors

Should provide consistent, non-attention-stealing color scheme.

Maybe start out with GTK theme greybird.

Window management

Should provide consistent window frames - e.g. thickness, shadows, action buttons view and logic.

Concrete (possibly outdated) example: Evince showing double menus with Xfce desktop with GTK+ 2.0 widgets.

Icons

Should use flat icons.

Fonts

Should provide consistent default fonts across applications and widget frameworks.
