Great. Get 'em talking and involved! :)

I think the current theme in Intrepid is a starting point. Refining that
and finding what we want to communicate with it.

Just a note, panels need not be any wider than 1px. 1x24px is fine.

DejaVu, IMO is the way to go from here. We should also reduce the App,
Desktop and Doc (with Doc being debatable) fonts down 1pt

What we need is what icons we should refresh beside the folder. As far

we aim at.
