Css theming

By default, topinambour will look for the file ~/.config/topinambour/topinambour.css. You can select another file in the preferences dialog. This dialog can be shown via the application menu. Various widget can be themed via the Css like the headerbar for example. Here is the Css used in the first screenshot (the Gtk theme is the Arc theme).
