This is ridiculous. So even though it was asked by Frank to polish
the Human GTK theme, going as far as to start a wikipage dedicated to
it and advertising it on the mailing list (and not minding the fact
that I did so afterwards), apparently we're now dropping it? Even
though I've already made a mock-up which has had a lot of positive
feedback? You're just saying, as if it is nothing, that we're not
doing it anyway, the only reason being that "the XML is a bit massive"?
Or are you going to cling on to the excuse that "the deadline is
approaching", even though we still have a good week to produce things?
I really do not approve of such an attitude. You're supposed to be
somewhat of a leader. You're thus not supposed to handle
contributions by members like this, simply stating in a random e-mail
that "we're not gonna do it afterall, for your information", after
work has been put into it in response to an official call to produce
the work. The work has been produced and needs some more work before
it can be finalized for consideration, but even though we're still
inside the planning, now suddenly it is no longer necessary?
As much as I realize that we can't do _everything_ we would like to
for Edgy, Troy, I think this is plain ridiculous.

Michiel, I'm somewhat responsible for this. <br>
<br>
The current GTK theme was produced by Richard and Daniel, the authors
of Clearlooks, working directly with me in London. Of course I'm happy
to review updates to that but for the moment I will expect to sign off
on those changes personally. That was not clear to Frank.<br>
<br>
So, by all means continue with GTK work, but present those changes to
me rather than Frank.<br>
<br>
At the moment, having reviewed your current screenshots I think the
roundedness is nice but the colour palette is not rich or saturated
enough for me. There seems to be a hint of blue on the bottom of the
widgets, and the net effect doesn't work well for me. I prefer the
deeper more saturated look of the current widget set.<br>
<br>
By all means, however, keep going!<br>
