As you cannot do what gtk+ does internally without awful workarounds, like styling the header bar the same it is in the GtkTreeView, then what you call "details" is a major problem for custom widgets, which doesn't fix CSS stability, because of missing required API, intentionally not provided by the gtk+ itself. Even WebKit2 still draws its scrollbars incorrectly in the 2.13.90 version of it, thus you might know what I'm talking about, I believe. > Are you ready to remove the menu bar, the toolbar (you could put a > couple monochrome buttons in the header bar, but only a couple), the > contacts/calendar/tasks/memo integration, and a majority of the > preferences?

As some applications can have different look (and feel) for GNOME, I can imagine the Evolution can do it too. We'll see, we are far from being at the end. > Regarding ease of setup.

I do run gnome-control-center from a terminal from time to time, I know how (GNOME) Online Accounts look and where to find them, no matter what desktop environment I'm currently using. :-) > I didn't realize you were planning major UI changes.

I'm currently at "one day, it would be good to update the UI of the Evolution, as an option, a new view" plan, while I know there is plenty of work to be done first, not only that which is piled in my ToDo for too long time, from which will benefit all those applications which are currently pushing the Evolution itself away from the GNOME, but also other work, like to make the UI widgets performance wise, better than the stock gtk+ widgets.
