### Refracting into your world...

by huggybear » Tue Dec 27, 2011 5:34 am

Hello there!
I have been wanting to try out Refracta for so long, but apart from booting into it a couple of times, I had not managed to tinker with it due to time constraints. I will be needing something creative to do soon, so that I don't feel entirely like a vegetable. Be effing prepared for some new Refracta artwork! I think the whole idea of refracting rays is sort of urging something on in my head. I would ideally like to have a full theme for stable Gnome/Xfce/LXDE/KDE. Gnome 3 makes me puke a lot, mainly because they complicated theme creation to some extent -- but they did that with everything else, too. Makes me want to slap someone!
Anyway, enough with the ranting...
I hugs yous a lot and all that... I've really missed you peeps on the other forums!

I never could get anything good looking from that idea though, even though that is where the refracta name came from.

I do get tired of the constant 'new and improved' direction that some things seem to take. Especially since they never end up being improved but rather just different. It makes me think the devs always focus on the positives of the new way without thinking about the negatives, all the while focusing on the negatives of the current way while overlooking the positives.
But I do love how gnome 3 works and very much love using it. Although I am not real quick to suggest it to others as I think most will not get anything out of it that they do not already get with a more traditional desktop.
That being said I am not real thrilled with the direction of xfce either. I am starting to think putting pieces and parts together is the way to go to a decent desktop...something like lxde maybe...
oh well...

Huggy, where'd you go?
Just so you know, we've started working on the wheezy version of refracta, with xfce-4.8.
