Personally I would not call your work on the Appearance theming eye-candy. And
there is a lot yet to accomplish to consider that UI customization finished.

It consolidated os/DE light/dark UI color theme response and replaced
non-functional UI Personalization with a framework for Appearance theming by
extension that should meet user expectations going forward, even if we change
the underlaying UI widget framework.

Your choice, obviously, but I'd much prefer that you continue to refine those
facets, including mentoring appearance theme authors, and bring that feature to
maturity.

Providing dynamic rendering of Style previews, and Slide transitions to the UI
would be nice, but its absence does not prevent use of LibreOffice. And I'd
expect that it will be more effort than expected to implement something that
improves over the current static rendering sufficiently to consider it a
polished result. 

Already one of the major complaints regards the MUFFIN GTK+ Glade assemblages
of the Notebookbar flavors.
