GNOME tweak tool design refresh

Status: Completed

Description

The GNOME tweak tool provides access to 'tweaks' - settings and changes that fall outside the scope of the control-center, which are still used widely enough to deserve a UI. In the 3.10 cycle, the tweak tool received a complete redesign, which is being implemented as a GSoC project.

The wireframes for the new design are here: https://raw.github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/tweak-tool/tweak-tool-wireframes.png
