I'm free to talk about it.
I disagree. I like a clean style, e.g. the one of Qtractor much more than flashy designs, because I can rule it's look. Whereas I do agree, that a call for more desktop environment themes is something we need. It would be good, if we could choose different themes for different applications. Even if I'm not a fan of applications that ignore the theme I chose, at the moment I'm glad that some do, because different outfits make it easy to discern different apps, with similar functionality. To be honest, I like the look of some apps that come with their own style, but on the whole, clean themes taken over from the desktop environment's theme will avoid that the display looks like a funfair, with it's grotesque sensory overload. 2 cents, Ralf _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
