Roadmap to Parole 0.6
GTK3 transition
Include default theming for GtkOverlay in case themes don't support the osd class- doesn't seem possible, cause either the cssprovider overrides the theme or the theme overrides the fallback, because there doesn't seem to be a sane way to check whether the osd-class gets specially themed
