[ubuntu-studio-devel] De testing

[Len Ovens]

So budgie will probably not work for us. Cinamon also has issues That 
would be hard to overcome. I have pretty much decided that while tilix 
has some nice features... I don't find myself using them and the way it 
deals with the window decoration doesn't allow the theme to do it's work. 
In general it seems cinnamon does not deal well with themes other than 
it's own. I found mate easier to use and set up. I also find MATE is 
better at using standards. I think in the end we will be choosing between 
MATE, plasma and xfce (or replacing whatever panel with xfce's  ;)

I will look at lxqt, but expect that at this point it is not yet mature 
enough for our use.

Applications that do away with system theming should die in my opinion, 
Theming is not just a looks thing, it is a part of the workflow too. Being 
able to change the theme is important. Having all applications use the 
theme is important, at least for such things at window decorations. Aside 
from that, even in the looks department, having one application do it's 
own thing makes the desktop look disjointed and unprofessional.
