The shell look is actually reserved to the shell and bits that are part
of the "system". So applications shouldn't use the shell theme,
otherwise there's no way to differentiate them.

I'll note that sushi should be using the normal (non-dark) variant of
the theme when playing audio though. I'm sure the jury is still out on
whether it should use the dark variant for office type documents.
