Can you? It would be great! One more thing can you change the Nautilus
icon with smth more appropriate? And could you use different tones of
range (darker, lighter) or even combinations of dark and light grey so
that the theme to look more vivid.

My intent was it to be light orange (different color because this is not
a standard menu, right?). Moreove it is in the back so its colors should
not be so intensive. So I will change it if it seems so PINK.

Here is why I don't make it so bright. (If we make the text darker it
will be darker in unselected menus too so we don't have much of a
choice):

Btw the orange bottom line is too distracting. Isn't the button the main
thing you should see or the orange line at the bottom?
