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Concrete (possibly outdated) example: Evince showing double menus with Xfce desktop with GTK+ 2.0 widgets.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