Actually I was hoping we could fix the flat style to also support color 
tinting:-) I am not overly attached to the manhattan style, I just need 
this one feature that is still missing from the flat style.

I actually like your proposal (especially the more consistent look of 
the icons), so I would actually like to switch to the new theme 
eventually.

If we add color tinting, than we will need to be more dynamic than a 
style sheet.

Did you ever change the color of Qt Creator in Manhattan style? It 
adapts the gradient colors to make sure the text stays readable and I 
think it also adapts the font colors for the areas where the color tint 
is applied.

Best Regards,
Tobias
