On 4 Nov, Mike McEwan scribbled:
-> 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.
