That initial comment asked to > detail why which you dind't. You just answered with a general attack on the Gnome devs saying - I paraphrase - that they are arseholes that don't to your bidding. I then tried to get more detail

It would still be less work to build on that foundations. Heck, System76 couldn't even bother to pony up the theming specification they were supposed to do for KDE and Gnome. Never happened. If they don't even have the resources t

I know what they spend their time with; golfing and making sure their friends get a cut of the pay by doling out company contracts. Just as they get a delicious cut from their friends companies' contracts.
