FWIW, I asked Mikhail for specifics, and this is the conversation we had.

See, I did not want very much to twick CSS files. I am not a web 
designer/develoepr, in fact.
I wish I was able to tune UI from Preferences. That would be just fine.

Well, that's it, again. If it ever was in preferences, in a easy-to find 
place :)

Well, it seems like you should just make some really beatiful CSS 
templates and allow to switch them in preferences; and add other options 
to preferences. Not all your users are committed to spend hours tuning 
up Bugzilla :)
Wish you good luck,
