Nick @ The Linux Experiment (npub1djp…8kck) You are not a "power user" if all you want is to select a particular theme and expect it to work with at least most of the system. Or a font size...

All "regular" users use Window Managers. XFCE has one, Gnome has another. Maybe the wording is confusing, but what I meant is the system that draws the windows graphically. And that is not respected by apps like Thunderbird.

I fail to see where's a better design and coherency, else I would applaud it too.

The fact is: if you need to customize, you still can and you know how.
Well can you tell me how to fix Thunderbird? I have no clue 😀

I think you brush aside too quickly the trend of fragmentation in the Linux world, with Gnome caring only about Gnome, thunderbird about their app, and so forth. Destroying in the process useful features that are system wide. I do not understand how you do not see system theming as important, or font choosing, or HUD-like features. They are useful for everyone.

You know probably most users do not use Workspaces, but probably you do. How would you feel if Gnome, or app developers, would make it nearly impossible to use their apps or systems with workspaces?

Anyway, I thought you could pay a bit more attention to things like usability since from what I remember from some of your videos, you say that you work/have worked within that domain.
