I suspect this has been done to death, only I didn't see it. Are
people in agreement that GTK, despite it's programmatic beauty, is
ugly on the eye, at least by default - I think so.
Why is this, or are people's sense of the aesthetic generally
divergent from my own (a possibility), although the advent of
GTKSTEP would at least, in part, indicate I am not alone.
I am not denigrating the blood, guts, sweat and tears that have
undoubtedly gone into the creation of the GTK toolkit, but surely
such efforts are, at least in part, about producing interfaces that
are pleasing upon the eye.
I'm sure that despite its (I'm being sincere here) programmatic power
we're still left with something that has all the visual appeal
(forgive me gran) of our grandmother's undergarments.
Please tell me there are plans afoot to change things.
