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, Glen
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.
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??
