That all sounds great. My motivation for asking is that I'd like to record a version of my FOSDEM demo to put online, and one of the comments that I got from several people was that it would be a lot more compelling if it didn't look so ugly. I'd like to tidy up the Nesedah theme and have nice-looking menus.
