cuter cairo eye candy

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The fact that labyrinth is using cairo could allow using some really sleek
eye candy, similar to what was done in Evolution 2.8 (see attachment).

It is not vital, but I think it would be really nice to have such "soft"
gradients stuff for the bubbles in Labyrinth. So it's a feature request ;)

I would also recommend using a better set of default colors (instead of the
plain red & blue we have right now) for bubbles, using the Tango colors:
http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines#Color_Palette (or
use the gtk theme colors, that would be good too).

Thanks for the request.

The intention is to hook up and use the current GTK theme for default colours.  
(The
current selected and primary thought are indeed hideous.  The text selection 
colour
is even worse ;).

Once the theme settings are working properly, I'll look into adding cool 
shadings
etc.  (I'm not sure how that'd happen intuitively without annoying some people).

With the current work, there have been a huge number of changes in labyrinth
recently.  I think a new release needs to be rolled, let others test everything 
out
(once I land the current work and add 1 or 2 more minor things).  In which 
case, the
theme stuff may need to wait until after this.  Although, changing the colours 
to
tangoified colours until theme support is added is probably a good idea.
