    I've been wondering for a while why all the screenshots you make use that horrible GTK theme. All the shows look like they are 15 years old! Roll patras anyone who wants to use them.

      ... and I wonder, is my desktop theme what really interests you? 😀 The theme is retro, but I guess not everyone knows how to appreciate it :). The screenshots are only added so that whoever wants to can see that the program works. If you only try the programs that are displayed on "nice" desktops, I think you will miss a lot of very interesting things. But about tastes, there is nothing written. Salu2.
