------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Oct 25 23:08:10 -0700 2005 ------- As you can see from my attachment, I have a theme for KDE that is simple, stark, and contrasty. If has been liked by most people I have shown it to and I have a couple of friends working on skinning Mac OS X in a similar way. My theme is easy to read, uncluttered, and above all else, easy on the eyes after hours and hours of use. I understand that most people put up with insanely bright themes designed to be inviting, colorful and, yes, even lickable, but having been one of them and progressed, I feel humans weren't made to be bombarded with this visual complexity for an extended period of time. I think most geeks would agree with this. You shouldn't ignore those who long for something more usable. Utility may be lost on the masses, but not to us geeks. Sure, these gradients may look good on a SPECIFIC platform, but on others they look hideous! Is this how you want to present a cross platform, open source office suite to the world at large? I feel the desire for an option to disable this gradient is not an unreasonable request. I agree with the original poster (who, I think, had a less to complain about than mine and the ice example) that this "feature" is unnecessary fluff and the old adage "if it ain't broke" has been at the tip of my tongue while writing this submission. At least give us a way to "unbreak the broke." If there is a way to remove this gradient NOW please let me know because I will kill it DEAD in an instant and live happily ever after. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
