Bug Description

First of all, amazing project. Vineyard is the essential Wine GUI that the Wine developers don't have time to create.

Since you're already embracing some Elementary ideas, how about moving About and Help to the Tools menu and fully expanding the left side pane vertically?

And if you can, make the side pane follow whatever theme color Elementary made E-Nautilus' side pane follow. Currently it's white, but it should be a shade of grey under Elementary theme. Not sure if it's possible without hardcoding a hex value for it, which of course should be avoided. This is just a minor aesthetic issue.

Thank you! That compliment warms my programming heart :)

I was actually thinking of putting About and Help in the Tools menu, but I'm not sure expanding the left pane is such a good idea.
As it is now, the bottom row of buttons are clearly separated from the settings area and therefore should properly convey the concept that their functions applies to the entire program, meaning all the settings, not just what you have selected right now.

Expanding the left side pane could be conceived as if the Apply button only applies to the current page, and I don't want that - but I will experiment with the idea and see what comes up.

I'll also look into the colour of the list, though it seems Vineyard would have to, to some degree at least, pose as being Nautilus - but we'll see.

Thanks for the suggestions!
