->    I suspect this has been done to death, only I didn't see it. Are
->    people in agreement that GTK, despite it's programmatic beauty, is
->    ugly on the eye, at least by default - I think so.
->  
->    Why is this, or are people's sense of the aesthetic generally
->    divergent from my own (a possibility), although the advent of

->  
->    I am not denigrating the blood, guts, sweat and tears that have

->    such efforts are, at least in part, about producing interfaces that
->    are pleasing upon the eye.
->  
->    I'm sure that despite its (I'm being sincere here) programmatic power
->    we're still left with something that has all the visual appeal
->    (forgive me gran) of our grandmother's undergarments.
->  
->    Please tell me there are plans afoot to change things.
