I wanted to wait till I had a change to check out its accessibility
before commenting... One thing we tried hard to do was make sure the
default themes worked reasonably well with things like larger font
sizes, different fg/bg colors, etc.  Although sometimes users will
really need to change WM theme _and_ gtk theme etc. to get the look they
need, IMO we shouldn't have a default that is accessibility-unfriendly.
