Yip, this is exactly my position and I face the same dilemma. I decided to just minimize [1] all my public open-source contribution [2]. I don't know how to make things better in this new design-driven world, so I will just settle for not making things worse. I guess this is progress; GNOME3 is, on balance, certainly very good. This email is not intended to be rude, nor taken badly. It is a reflection of private correspondence I have had with other hackers who might abstain from these contentious discussion on d-d-l for the reasons cited above. John [1] gnome-tweak-tool, user-theme not withstanding. Those were my bridge building exercises between the hypothetical 'power user' and the hypothetical 'GNOME3 architects'. [2] I just put stuff on github and never mention it... _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
