It looks fine, if a bit plain.  If we had a graphical designer and/or
illustrator I'm sure we could do better, though.

One improvement which I believe only requires code changes is support
for a "dark" theme.  It seems to me that a dark theme is the default for
most editors these days, and N percent of our users prefer them.  See
also Bug#11590.
