Hi everyone,

In the JSM 2.0 I added the ability to change the GTK widget theme.

I basically modified the functions I use for the gtk icon theme and
reworked things to make a common backend for getting both things.

I then used very similar code to make a browser similar to the icon
theme browser.

I have tested it and it works well.

Please note it is not the same as the familiar LXAppearance which has a
preview window to switch themes.  I want to test this part well first,
and then when it is working well enough I will add code to check for
LXappearance first and use that by default if it is available (since it
is a GTK program it can show this live preview).

But for now it works very well and adds a whole new level of
functionality with very little extra effort, and uses a common code base
I already had :D

Anyhow I am quite excited with this new bit.


If you are using Nio's Trusty tarball it should be available as an
update soon.

I have also improved the font selector a bit and a few other things.  I
am going through each portion bit by bit and testing/fixing/improving
things as I go.

I am quite pleased with how much better this version is already, and
once it is tested fairly well we should  definitely move it into the
main repo for our users, as it is much more reliable and does not crash
(as far as I have found).
