Hi, On last week my friend Willian (Willian is a lawyer) look at me using Evolution and say: "Hey, this is a cool application. Can you install on my computer?". I have install the Fedora 3 on his computer and he likes the look of GNOME applications. The BlueCurve theme is nice for end users and I think that the most big problem of GTK and GNOME is your default theme... before BlueCurve and Fedora I dont like GTK too.
Another problem is that when you GNOME and open a QT application, default theme of QT application looks nice but when you use KDE and open a GTK application then the end users say: "This application is ugly!! Arrrg!!". A new default theme for GTK solve some problem but another problem is a default theme icon for GNOME... I ask some "normal end users" about the screenshots and all users (100% of 11 users) say me that the GNOME icons is not cool and needed more colors. Everaldo.
