Harmonizing tooltips and jgmenu themes

I thought light-aqua was already chosen? It was the setup you posted first, and it's default in both amd64 alpha and i386 beta isos.

Nobody protested, and many people seemed to like it.

Nothing is ever lost in git so any dropped themes will always be available for ressurection. We could make a bunsen-themes-extra package so people can get them easily?

Very small menu tweak.

When icons are enabled, the submenus without icons - eg all the pipemenus - have a gap on the left of each item's text where the icon would be, which doesn't look great. It can't really be fixed, but a look at 'man jgmenu' shows 'icon_text_spacing' which is the distance between the icon and the text. Default is 10px so with 16px icons that means a 26px gap for iconless submenus. (Nothing can be done about the empty 16px for pipemenus.) Setting 'icon_text_spacing' to 0 squashes the icons right up against the text and doesn't look good but I think 5px spacing is acceptable. That cuts the empty space on pipemenus down from 26px to 21px.

icon_text_spacing   = 5

It's tiny, but still an improvement I think.

LOL, is that Burgess Meredith at the beginning? I have to watch this piece of crap now. I watched Jason and the Argonauts (1963) last week, so why not.

Release the Boron.

-edit- Oh my goodness, Lawrence Olivier? Maggie Smith? Ursula Andress? Harry Hamlin? I'm gonna love this schlock!

Yeah that was bikeshedding. Actually I made that change locally a couple of weeks ago and forgot to mention it.

I still have to finish off BLOB.

We could then release Beta 3 and see what people make of the suru++ menu icons, but before the official release I also want to fix a couple of systray icons: the black-on-black power manager and package update notification. If adding a simple recoloured icon to our "dark" set doesn't work then I'll give up.

A quick think if the picom drop shadow can be improved without clashing with the round corners.

That's about all there is left to do though.

I haven't noticed a difference syncing jgmenu to either GTK or Openbox...

I'm going to take out jgmenu's "sync to GTK" menu item because jgmenu automatically does that anyway whenever the GTK theme is changed, and the sync that users might want to do manually is "sync with Openbox".
