RE: User interface suggestions

[David Grega <webmaster overtech zzn com>]

The problem with the Gnome environment right now is that it's dreary and 
dull.  Who wants to use something that's dreary and dull?  The folks down 
at MacOS X know no one wants to use something dreary and dull - hence the 
photo-realistic *COLORED* icons.  If people wanted black and white they'd 
tell their computer to switch over to monochrome.

If at all possible, it should not fade to "greyscale", but to
"panel-color-scale" or "menu-item-color-scale", depending on what
background the icon is against..
