- pjmlp 8y agoNot bash their contributions like it has happened on GNOME and KDE.
- freedomben 8y agoThe bashing is truly amazing. Not only does it lack constructiveness (in most cases), but Gnome (I speak of Gnome here not to the exclusion of KDE. I just happen to be a Gnome user) is beautiful, and has been for years. Thank you Gnome team, including designers, that created such a beautiful desktop experience for me.
- koffiezet 8y agoDesign is more than beauty. Design is functionality, how you use stuff. As long as I rather jump into a terminal than navigate through the UI, that's a fail in my book, and very few DE's on Linux pass this test.
- domoritz 8y agoNicely ask in the bug tracker about how a designer can help. Maybe start with a mock of what you want to change. I'm sure most open source developers will put in extra effort to help you because they value contributions from designers.
