I really hate the idea of Bluecurve (not the theme itself). People like (and really like, look at flamewars) Gnome or KDE. I'm a Gnome one, but this will not affec what I want to say. Gnome has a Human Interface Guidelines. GTK2 is implemented to follow that. Gnome people has spent lot of time designing both appearance and _behaviour_ of interface. People is used to it and people who like Gnome like it for its behaviour. It should not be chaged. The default is fine for newbies. Experienced users can tweak it. Of course same for KDE. Other thing is that KDE defaults look brain damaged for Gnome fans and viceversa. Or that any of them has bugs. And some people in this thread should really take a lecture on HCI about visual hints, behaviours and so on... -- J.A.
