* We'd provide two basic apperances: The current one, re-tooled to use a special AppearanceManager "plugin"/"module", and a new one, which uses pixmaps to render all widgets. Care should be taken to make it possible to add new ones or disable the pixmap based ones (for ports that are low on memory)

* We should support all our primary resolutions: 320x200, 320x240, 640x400, 640x480. Ideally, we should support all resolutions (not just the ones I mentioned).
