I disagree. I like a clean style, e.g. the one of Qtractor much more

than flashy designs, because I can rule it's look. Whereas I do agree,

that a call for more desktop environment themes is something we need. It

would be good, if we could choose different themes for different

applications. Even if I'm not a fan of applications that ignore the

theme I chose, at the moment I'm glad that some do, because different

outfits make it easy to discern different apps, with similar

functionality. To be honest, I like the look of some apps that come with

their own style, but on the whole, clean themes taken over from the

desktop environment's theme will avoid that the display looks like a

funfair, with it's grotesque sensory overload.
2 cents,

Ralf
