It's just that sometimes the concepts of design are difficult to understand, or even totally misunderstood. If you are new to Linux you'd find a lot of things really different from other operating systems.<br> <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">So, I "dare" you to test other themes, desktop and systems, to see which one fits your needs. Maybe a "changeling" desktop metaphor is not for you.

Let's look to ACYL icons, totally diferent. You should thank to people like this author the time he spent on "modifying and screwing up" the original logos just to bring users an homogeneous look for their system, with no mixed balls, squares, triangles, romboids, and infinite forms that, from a designer point of view, as mine, is a real and complete shit.<br> <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">And don't misunderstand me, I love Gnome icons and his creator, Jimmac, but the purpose of an icon theme is make a pleasant and smooth visual sensation. Don't give me lessons of design, I'm a designer and Box is a concept (not a way of destructing logos) widely accepted. There's a thing called "creative overall justification" or guidelines (did you read it before using Box? I post these notes twice a year, on every Lubuntu release: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Artwork/Guidelines" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Artwork/Guidelines</a>). Every design has one to explain things, like why we enclose logos in squares or use circles, or whatever.<br> <br>If you don't like a theme, just choose another.
