Solution: make UI 100% theme-able. Icons, buttons, paddings, borders, fonts, backgrounds, everything as a customizable theme.

> The new UI will remain customizable. It is, and will be, possible to change many aspects of the look and feel, such as icons, colors, font sizes, and spacing between controls through theme plugins.

I frequently wish more programs would implement a UI as flexible as the one in Firefox, where you can just drag buttons around, add extra large dedicated buttons for zoom, remove buttons you don't need etc.

Even more flexibility would be cool as well in more specialized software, but I think FF does enough while not overwhelming the user with possibilities.
