Instead of submitting our favourite styles and window decorations, we should 
first decide on some basic rules which the style/window dec. must comply 
with.

Style:
- not 'clunky' nor minimalistic
- All widgets must be easily recognisable
- good looking

Window Decoration:
- not 'clunky' nor minimalistic
- it should have a window frame for easy resizing
- titlebar icons should allow the user to easily identify the associated 
action

 etc..
