Obviously 1 is the least work, but it's also not a good idea.  My
feeling is that 2 would be rather difficult, because one of the
usability problems is adjusting to titlebar font-size.  3 might be
rather easy, but will require some love from someone with artistic
skills (look at the Sanity theme to see how much I lack these). In fact,
it would be more or less trivial to re-skin Sanity's infrastructure,
which supports all the usability features that Klarth does (though I
haven't released the support for resizing the titlebar along with the
user's font, since scaling the flat images in Sanity looks awful with a
gdk-pixbuf sawfish).
