Utilize Granite

[Cassidy James Blaede]

Granite provides some awesome widgets that a.) make things easier to implement and b.) keep things looking consistent. If Granite were added to Midori, you could get prettier sidebars, an elementary-style AppMenu ootb, hinted entries (for address and search bars), sexy error screens, popovers, prettier dialogs, etc.

In addition, Granite is likely to include a vastly revamped "save" dialog, a much better tabbar widget, and more in the future. By getting Granite into Midori sooner, it'll be easier to add these awesome widgets in once they're ready, and it's less custom work for you.

For me personally the tabbar is decisive. If it works well, we can try other widgets. But frankly I don't have enough time to try a lot of widgets, any effort pushing this is welcome.

Optional support for Granite and showing it in about:version are there. We'll also be adding support for the dynamic notebook and pop-overs, which Lucas provided initial patches for.

Let's close this also, we are using Granite and any specific widgets can be dealt with as they come up.
