UI Nitpicks and papercuts #214

The login screen has an awkward layout — the log in button should be in the header bar. (also should probably be called "Sign In", in title case.)
The styling isn't in line with current libadwaita styles, switching to libadwaita's *View widgets should fix that.
"Celeste" appears in all window titles, and doesn't really bear repeating. "Log in – Celeste" should become "Log In", "Servers – Celeste" -> "Celeste", "%Name% – Celeste" -> "%Name"
There's an awkward orphan shadow when first opening the app.
The ListBox should be hidden when there's no directories, and a placeholder should be shown instead.
The sidebar has double borders.
The hamburger menu has odd centered entry styles.
The "Remote Folder Picker" dialog uses an older dialog layout and crusty entry widgets. Should use AdwEntryRows and buttons should be moved to the headerbar.
Also, "Ok" should be avoided as a button label. "Confirm" or "Add" would be preferable.
The dialog that pops up when clicking on the trashcan is really confusing. What's a remote? Is that the same as server?
None of the dialogs actually attach to the window. (Also should probably be adaptive - see Migrating to Adaptive Dialogs
None of the buttons have tooltips.
