Correct.

Only if you have custom CSS, yes.

If by "consistent" you mean "convenient", then possibly.

In reality, though, you may want to determine the additional CSS to be
loaded based on programmatic conditions, like the current user theme,
or the current platform. Adding a bunch of conditions to the XML
instead of code is not going to help much in terms of making Glade
more useful.

Ciao,
