I think it would be great creating tabbed "About" dialog with "Authors",
"Contributors" and
"Translators" tabs to mention all guys participated in Skencil development.
Because now
this info is accessible for package maintainers only.

Also I have committed fixes for tk8.6 so we can start the next iteration -
improving UI and
fixing rendering issues.

As a first step I would propose to import colors and fonts values from Gtk
environment.
Tk widgetset looks as a stranger in Gnome/KDE because has own preferences. A
lot of
Skencil potential users have Gimp, Inkscape and other Gtk applications. So
they have
already set up Gtk according to their preferences. Therefore Gtk settings
will be
acceptable for Skencil UI.
