- jsight 10y agoI'm pretty sure that it looks out of place in all of the Deskktop environments that you have mentioned.
- creshal 10y agoGoing by the documentation you linked yourself: > In terms of integrating visually with the desktop, we currently ship with a classic Win32 theme. That sticks out like a sore thumb everywhere, including every Win32 release since Windows 2000.
- Koshkin 10y agoThe standard Win32 theme is the classic, an engineering marvel. Everything else that came after that - starting with the infamous native Windows XP theme - was and is a horrible mess.
