I know have complained about this before, but is just rough seeing the same old, same old! I look on Gnome Looks and see basically the same themes over and over like a broken record. Then I put mine up and am severely lucky to see any of my themes reach 200 downloads let alone go over! Then I see some theme from a few years ago, soar through the roof! Now sure, I can understand when there is a great deal of special coloring to it, to do so. I am not talking about those! I am talking about ones that are so dreadful, a 7 year old could put to shame! Am just lost on how someone would want their computer theme to look like something way back in 2002??? Basically, the same effect can be achieved by forgetting comas here and there!!! Actually, as have downloaded a few here and there, have seen that fact! Am no ace at all this, but just think if one is to have a theme, it should be a little more eye catching than dreadful. Am I wrong? Ever since I got into the text coloring is just something very magical to me! I do not even want to see a theme anymore with Black and White text. Why? It is absolutely boring and no challenge whatsoever! Anyone can raise white coloring from say #bbbbbb to #dddddd so what is the challenge??? Now when you go from say #944d00(amber) to #009494(light blue) isn't that just a little more exciting? Then say for coloring on the gnome calendar, in the past have done 3 colors in shell or regular theme to exemplify headings and numbers. Isn't that nicer to see than just light and dark white??? Then when we have different textures of coloring, and to get that text coloring so it can be read easily takes time! Is just not something that can be done in 2 seconds flat! So to me it just seems like the white and black text is just the lazy man's way out! Just curious what everyone here thinks??? Basically, with the low turn out for downloads on my themes, I feel I blew it for the mass populous.Am getting to the point will just create them for myself since no one seems to enjoy them. I just thought it would be exciting for people to see a nice change, but apparently am really wrong and just a fool about all this! I would even love to see this coloring of text go into effect for the entire internet! Why? I am on a computer! If I was reading a newspaper I would expect to see just black and white! Even some of our better programs on TV have incorporated colored text! So why can't our computers no longer look like we are reading a newspaper????
