-Based on development so far, it looks like only a modest fraction of all theme and configuration options are required to adequately render most common themes and provide a pretty openbox-like experience.
+## 7. Out-of-scope
 
-It is likely that only a subset of the full specification will be implemented in order to keep the code base simpler and cleaner.
+In order to keep the code base clean and maintainable, simplicy is favoured over full specification adherence.
+
+The following items are out-of-scope:
+
+- Icons (except window buttons)
+- Animations
+- Gradients on window decorations and menus
+- Any theme option (probably at least half of them) not required to reasonably render common themes
+- Any configuration option not required to provide a simple openbox-like experience
+- Multiple desktops
