I have a link to an old article that suggests techniques for getting 
colours from the GTK+ theme:

http://ometer.com/gtk-colors.html

It's pretty old but I believe the GTK+2 pieces are still appropriate for 
Hob.

On top of that using gtk.Table is bad, using hard coded sizes for text, 
widgets, etc. is bad.

Pango markup supports proportional font sizes (large, larger) like CSS 
and I'd suggest those be used.

I think we should keep the existing icons, though.

I'm definitely in favour of that.
