Re: Some criticisms of GNOME

[Javier Aravena <phrodo 00 gmail com>]

I agree with Claus and Quim and I love the way gnome works (exepting
some issues with metacity and the change color thing) and I love the
gtk file choser, in fact I'm doing my best to help the thunar
filemanager that looks a lot like it, however only I agree with nick in
a little thing: tell gtk developers to make couloring windows
easier!!... I dunno if it's a good idea, but I think no code of gtk
needs to be changed, all we need is a theme modifier/creator (I would
write it if I knew) that made its work (creating and modifyng gtk and
icon themes) with some rules defined by the engines' rules with support
to change images' hue for the pixmap engine and the ability to add bits
of pixmap into themes whenever the user wants to (like instead of
choosing a color for the scrolbar you select a image somehow and it
will use the pixmap engine)... but this is the marketing list, I'll
write something better detailed with fake screenshots and everything
somewhere and I'll point it to everybody and developers. (I guess I
will use my blog even though it's in spanish).

I basically agree.

I also suggest to add a 'GNOME agenda' -- a summery of what GNOME
developers want to reach in general, which principles guide their design
decisions, etc.

I feel there are a lot of misunderstandings or ignorance about the goals
of GNOME that leads to such criticism.

Cheers,
Claus
