Re: Totem with dark UI.

[Onyeibo Oku <twohotis gmail com>]

This became apparent a few days ago in Fedora Rawhide with Gnome
Terminal starting running with Dark UI.  Its rather cool ... but
somewhat odd simultaneously.  Why?  Switching from the terminal to
another window (i.e. "nautilus") shows great variance.  If Gnome has
decided to use a dark theme by default, that should cut across all
applications (e.g. nautilus, firefox, Evolution).

I prefer a dark upper region (titlebar, menus, and toolbars) with
fair/light lower regions ... that's the rest (typing windows, reading
panes etc.).  A white menu drop-down (list) over the dark theme gives a
better visual effect than the current gray lists.  Well, i guess all
that depends on how Gnome design team sees things.
