Well put Vesa. We've chosen an aesthetic direction, and changing it now
doesn't really make sense unless it's a real problem for a notable number
of people. That doesn't lock out other people from providing a honeycomb
LMMS theme (in fact, I'd love to see one on the LSP sometime). TBH, my
approval doesn't mean much, since I'm just sitting on my rear instead of
helping out, but I'll be sure to do a special video about the LMMS revival
and commend all of you guys.
