For the translation part don't forget sync the website too, i'm expectant
to translate the tour and the new stuff
Also i did some standarization in terms of translations for the
screensaver, dont forget to sync it too

As for 4.16, dont forget therebis gtk4 comming next (?) year so dont overdo
it or we will end with another super long development circle (i think i
told this for gtk3 way back and it ended in a 4 year development anyway)

Finally maybe explicity mention the preffered theme for those wondering and
questioning what theme is on the screenshoots (and for the few recilient
packagera that dont ship it in they repos)

Also maybe move stuff to optional and dont care of it when we move to gtk4?

And does libxfxe4ui is still needed? Arch still package it with gtk2
depends and there is still components needed libxfce4ui
