Ideally I want to change the layout as well, but I'll look into theming,
thanks for the tip.

Is there anything I can do to help move this (or something similar)
forward? I'm pretty familiar with using the Gtk C API, am a Java
programmer by profession, and have been dabbling in C# for a couple of
months. If there's anything I can do with those skills to help mono/Gtk#
move forward, I'm more than willing if someone can point me in the right
direction...
