My distro has the Arial font too, but anyway, the Times is not so bad, if
you think about standards. So correct me if I'm wrong but I think you can
say:

Also I want to say that I like the idea of using the destop-type icons, and
a whould be better a more colored design.

Anyway, I like this design.
