it is worth noting that YES, a colour change would go part of the way to avoid the clash, but it doesn't solve some of the (1) the BIG APPICON THAT DOESN'T FIT ANYWHERE
Of course its not intended to live in a taskbar nor is it aware of taskbars. Its meant to be big so you see it. a lot of small icons in taskbar can become confusing. Same as the windows taskbar with 20 small icons. I just cant find what im looking for.
(2) the BIG vertical menu that sticks out like a sore thumb amongst the horizontal menu bars
That menu is intended to be just that a vertical menu and its not meant to fit in any other menu scheme. Its supposed to popup wherever you right click and just roll down to the proper menu item. I find that much better than doing a precision strike on the tiny icons on the top menubar in gnome. Or any other horizontal menubar.
(3) the fact that the widgets look much less refined and sleek than their gnome counterparts (before you say anything, I will make the point that ClearLooks is _NOW_ The default packaged look with GNOME 2.12.)
Thats exactly the way its intended to look. Well that can be improved actually. I think some people are experimenting with those. Im more concerned of other things right now. Maybe after gnustep-on-cairo-on-modular-xorg-on-standalone-gl is already stable on uclibc. The two just cant exist together. Your idea of a good desktop is not gnustep. Its better if you stick to the gnome design and it doesnt matter if its written in c, c++, or objc or whatever language or combination of languages. My idea of a good desktop follows along the nextstep design and thats it. Did Steve Jobs intend nextstep to be a good citizen of other desktops? I dont think so. I dont know about openstep but it seems that its not a good citizen of other desktops too. Maybe thats why next was never able to make a sustainable business on it. Sorry for the total absence of CamelCase. I find it totally confusing. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using the GPG bundle for GNUMail iD8DBQFDiC3syihxuQOYt8wRAlCLAJ9AQL6Ulztbqotqcxf7anS9JSqXGwCgiWIu lDhXfLSAFwStGTpH6FxuEvk= =Facd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
