  Well, one thing we could consider would be using the Qt4 support for 
stylesheets... though that would allow for theming the entire application, i 
have a feeling that it would appease a considerable amount of very vocal 
people regarding that part of the program. How much and how little we would 
wish to allow for in the context browser can be discussed, of course, but the 
syntax of CSS is one which is well known - we just need to keep a proper 
description file for it, so people are not confused what parts are themable 
and which are not :)
