Alexandre,
You really need to be ready to be criticised if you ask for people's
opinions. No-one came across to me as rude, except just possibly
yourself for this constant carping on the look of Trinity, and thus
criticism of the developers.
Most of us are here because we like functionality and dislike bling.
Have bling yourself if you want it. But stop trying to force it on
the rest of us.
You have over time made it clear that you do not really like Trinity,
since you want to destroy one of its greatest assets - it prefers
functionality to bling. Last time you brought this up it was
suggested to you that you should do your own fork. That would seem a
very good option. You could then have it as blingy as you like, with
you yourself doing the work.
Meanwhile, give yourself a treat for Christmas. Buy a new computer,
install PCLinuxOS with KDE4, Gnome3 and your own fork of Trinity and
bask in the bling.
Have a look some time at Knoppix-Adriane. Such things are needed.
Whilst Trinity is not specifically aimed at the disabled, it is very
disabled-friendly because it is so configurable. Once you have
filled the world with bling, where are we to go??

For people who think that they are thinkers, first of all, you
cannot say yourself that you are a thinker. Second, if you were a
thinker, you would not talk or write to someone in such rude,
hostile and unrespectful ways. Are you a misfit? How can you talk
to other humans beings while keeping some mutual trust and good
relations?
Some respects for the others is needed.
People who says that they are not superficial are the most
superficial ones, because when they see someone who they think are
superficial, they cannot (and don't want to) see further than the
surface and they automatically think that they are the most stupid
form of human beings. If that's the way windows looked in 1995 or
2005, that's fine.
I want things to look just fancy enough to be effective and
NO MORE.
+1 for this and all the other "Good Stuff"(tm) that you wrote.
I apologize for my bluntness here. I don't
mean to tread on
anyone's toes. I'm 68 years old
I will see your 68 and raise you another 10. :-)
Cheers,
