My biggest gripe about the default GNOME settings. Are there any sickos that use black text on white?

    And I think all programs should follow user theming, regardless of desktop environment, widget set, or anything else. ('Scuse me while I give GTK4 the stinkeye again.) You can never tell whether someone’s colour selection is a matter of accessibility rather than just personal preference, so you absolutely should not ignore it. Defaults matter very little as long as you can change them.

        This is a great explanation of what drove me away from Gnome into the loving arms of KDE. I used to be a Gnome 2 die hard. I don’t like Gnome 3, but I’m still glad it exists because some of you guys do.

        I need a certain level of customizability.

          For sure, KDE is the way to go, and it’s easy enough that even my mom can figure it out.

            My wife laments the fact that my laptop, desktop, and the family PC all have different desktop environments and the text is so small you need a magnifying glass, and yet, I have never seen her struggle to use any of them. Her Windows work PC however…

          I did the same thing the other day when I saw “winedlloverrides” (for the program Wine if that helps).

        This is why we ask respectfully that our applications not be themed.

        Ok, just skimmed the page, but if I read it right, your apps are for screenshots, not people. That’s a choice, but ok, I wasn’t going to use them anyway, judging from the screenshots. May I suggest renaming the site pleasedontusemy.app, for clarity?
