You should not be using any themes at all with Gnome3, you need to use it the way the Gnome developers have given it to you. The Gnome developers do not want you using themes. Customization is bad. From the horse's mouth: "Everywhere we go people look over our shoulders and say "Hey that's cool, what's that?" and then we get a chance to talk about GNOME, a chance to talk about free software. And I think there is a lot of value to have that experience you show the world to be consistent. In GNOME2 we didn't do that particularly well because everyone's desktop was different. So when people are looking at it, they don't see something that is idiosyncratic, they see you as part of a larger movement. And I think that's worth considering when customize your desktops." http://derstandard.at/1313024283546/Interview-GNOME-Designer... If you don't agree, then I suggest you switch to a different desktop environment like KDE, LXDE, or XFCE, where the developers don't have any problems with you customizing it. |

Do you notice that little wall going up at one end of the Gnome garden? |

Quoting:If you don't agree, then I suggest you switch to a different desktop environment like KDE, LXDE, or XFDE... Personally, I have no problem with GNOME 3 for tablets or handheld mobile devices. It is a good interface and has its merits on tablets. What I have a problem with, and I believe it is also the case for most commentators, is abandoning the Classical Desktop Interface. I think we should be specific in our feedback and criticism of this issue to try to make sure they don't proceed as planned. |

(ps: hmm, i just noticed that you can only nest quotes, if one is an attributed quote and the other is not, and you can not nest more than one level...) |
