The current look of plain white background with black text isn't very eye pleasant. I have nothing against minimalistic and simple appearance, but this is a bit too much. Therefore I have a proposal for a more smooth look using elements that can be found in Windows 7.

See screenshots for details.

Reproducible: Always

Attachment: Proposal for DH styling

This is very good example of smooth, yet minimal design. The window has light blue shade in upper part and separated section with buttons, which can be styled in 7's Explorer's bottom. This section can be also used for further features, if dev team decides to implement them.

Attachment: Proposal for text styling

Using green text to identify the purpose of DH (identity information, add-on installation, geolocation, etc.) with blue text for the rest of DH's content. The light line to separate those two section can be also used.
