Yup -- still working on it.  Here's my todo list:

Pixmap based indicators for the dialogs.
Multiple ttf font files.
Sizing the channel logos.
Move more of the edit mode positioning and stuff into the config.

Anything else?  Your stuff looks nice, btw, and it's nice to see that you 
figured out that a pixmap was allowed as the background for the dialog box =)
