I haven't said GNOME users can't change their colors.. They can, through theme but there is no UI for that ATM. I think you are completely missing my point : a theme for a specific toolkit MUST be desktop (and other toolkits) agnostic.. If you need to patch your theme to read another toolkit settings, this mean something is broken elsewhere.. You are fixing the consequences of the bug, not the bug itself.. > >FYI, GNOME doesn't have dialog to change theme colors...

Your objects are from a GNOME centric view. No, they are from a toolkit (here GTK) perspective.. GTK is not depending on GNOME, it should not depend on KDE nor QT..
