Hi Arne and George,

Thanks for the good comments about the design. Based on the original
Trac theme, the Indifex team [1] prepared the design for the needs of
the Transifex project.

George, I updated the basic gray color and made it a bit more dark.

Lack of experience with pbranch is the reason I haven't chipped in
with this suggestion or experiment with this approach. From what I
understand, based on my limited knowledge so far, it probably could
support the workflow we're using at Transifex.
