the theme engine of gnome 4 is a clunky copy of the MacOS style with dark and light frames in the same frame, and no support for GTK3 theme engines.
i like Adapta, which in code editors is known as "material oceanic", it is a dark green theme. Gnome 4 makes my desktop into a dog's breakfast of pseudo mac looking garbage.
i'm also very pissed at Gnome devs for the pointless and intrusive Tracker3 search engine back end. it always crawls my massive collections of code and fucks up my ability to work, play games, and generally enjoy use of my computer. Tracker has been a problem since they started that shit in gnome 3. it's idiotic, because for the most part, slocate does the main job of indexing your filesystem, i am more often searching for filenames than wanting to search content, and that's what Tracker3's specialty is.
i just turn it off, forcibly, it always hits me out of the blue after a few weeks running a new installation and i'm so frustrated. i've managed to keep an installation ongoing, but yeah, between the constant mangling of gnome's dconf registry style configuration system (at least as bad as windows registry) and ubuntu's habit of upgrading kernels that are locked in with packages that i can't uninstall, that don't support my video hardware, black screen boot out of the blue, and unhelpfully difficult to access GRUB configuration.
this is why my system now is running arch, cinnamon, themed with adapta, tracker3 is disabled forcibly, as well as in the configuration.
btw, you should see how intrusive tracker3's settings are in dconf.
it's almost like they are putting it in there to spy on us, all they need to do is slide into your user profile via some vulnerable app and they can just snarf tracker's indexes and quickly determine what your business is.
i don't like Mark Shuttleworth, I don't like Gnome Foundation and I don't like the Linux kernel either. all of them are sus as fuck, most likely NSA fronts just like all the rest of tech.
