Modern Theme for Cockatrice

Motivating factors behind this theme:

• Provide a neutral color palette that isn't biased torwards any particular color or lightness.
• Maximize the effect of the cards' colors on the on the battlefield.
  • Light cards should appear lighter than the background
  • Dark cards should appear darker than the background
• Avoid excessive/distracting ornamentation
• Tighter, more streamlined sounds
• Not a complete UI overhaul.
  • Only the minimum changes necessary to achieve stated goals.
