That would be a very long list. I'll have to look into that Plankton theme.

So you want something that is retro rather than being easy for eyes, like

Why are we discussing about this issue? There's no doubt that the
original author was a trolling. We all know that the new OS2008 looks
better than previous releases thanks to the alpha and composite
details.
Please, what is the basis of the complain? Saying that something is
ugly is subjetive

No, I don't and I thing the One Laptop Per Child computer, which looks
like something from Fisher-Price, is a great idea for it's target

Hi,
maybe you could be more specific about what's so damn ugly on OS2008?
I like the new look and prefer it over 2007. But if you want the old

for OS2008 in the maemo repository.
Cheers,
Martin
