Who wants to write a basic About box for Linux Lite?
#27
Just an experimental change, for opinions/ideas.

The idea is, the menu bar and the title bar are similarly grey but don't match, to break this effect and that of the gui background and title bar, I thought to try a third colour as a highlight.
Here I opened the LL Logo in GIMP and took a colour sampling of the feather, got the hex number and used this for the menu bar background colour.
The menus when dropped down are still grey.

Edit -
I forgot to say, when moving the mouse over the Help or Support menus, each changes colour to grey individually, the rest of the menu bar stays the feather colour.
The drop down menus can also have the colour changed, I've just checked it, and also each menu item changes colour to grey when moused over, but it might be too much as the intention is just to break up the title bar menu bar/gui difference.
Also the button background the LL logo is on can have its colour changed, plus any of the other buttons,  the button fonts, colours and sizes can be changed.
The gui background cannot change at this time as I made using a spacing hack, I made it up by trial and error when making the donation builder app, by using labels, so these do not colour when the gui background is coloured, it may be possible to colour each spacing block/label, and so then colour the entire gui background I'd have to try, if it is wanted.
