I know that *I* can do whatever I want. But I can live with whatever
theme there is, no problem.
But if more people want a better looking GNUStep, I would offer my help.
As I said, I don't have a problem using "not so pretty" applications,
but I really enjoy using good looking ones.

That, for example, would be really great.

Not a specific page. I just worked through the page in the last days,
and all in all I got the feeling that it looks like it does look on
purpose.
But maybe thats just my (rather bad) english :)
