OK, but does it yet include the ordinary ability to choose colors for elements of the GUI, or is that still edit the config manually or install a style to your liking, only? What about keyboard shortcuts? Are they user redefinable both at the overall system and individual application levels? I /do/ understand the filechooser is finally getting the textbox path entry back. Sure, ctrl-l or whatever, but how was the user supposed to know that? While an AOLer targeted "padded cell" interface may be popular for some, perhaps a huge "some" as AOL so well demonstrated, some of us hate that attitude with a passion, and /thought/ we had kissed it goodbye when we left proprietaryware aka slaveryware behind. (I've since realized that it may indeed have a place within the free software movement, for exactly those AOLer types who after all we'd like to see using free software as well. That doesn't mean I find it any less personally repulsive, but if some people want to spend their life on that sort of software, that's after all part of what free software is all about, and I'd not take away that choice.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
