billy gates, you were doing so well and then all of a sudden yesterday you started posting all that crap - numerous rubbishy pointless posts, why? bad mood or something? just bored?
BG: "Why oh why do i have to put up with this? All my titlebars are blue!!! Why can't it be white like on my mac?"
SOMEBODY: "Why not just change the colour in the control center?"
BG: "I shouldn't have to! It should just know that i want it to be white! Linux is obviously not ready for the desktop yet..."
BG: "When I type a letter, it always comes out using a Lucida font, I really think linux should get its act together and make it a better font, like Arial or Gill."
SOMEBODY: Uh, why not just change the font in the pull down menu?"
BG: Goddamnit! you geeks are always trying to confuse me! I'm not a programmer! Linux is obviously not ready for the desktop yet"
You see what i'm saying?
most of these things you complain about would take a LOT less time to fix than they would to bitch about in a forum.

Did I really say those things? I totally don't remember and they definitely did not come out the way I wanted.
Now back to my point, I do like the way RH8 gnome looks, but then you open Mozilla and it looks totally different, the text is not antialiased, etc,etc. I just wish linux programmers would work a little more on making the interface of their software looks the same as the interface of linux. My gripe is this is impossible because SuSE, Mandrake, and RH8 all looks completely differently and there are far more distros than that. So Linux can never, at least without the major invention of some cool UI converter, have a universal UI. This makes Linux Ugly. OSX can look great, but if the programs you use looks like shit then I call it ugly. Like I hate using Thoth newsreader because it looks like shit.
I'm sorry I dais those things about the Mac reading my mind shit. I probably just wanted to change the default font to a different font, not sure though. I'm sorry I wasted all of you time with badly written, confusing english.
Good by, I hope some day that I will be able to regain my reputation on FuckMicrosoft.com

The people that work on gnome, that work on KDE and that work on mozilla are three entirely different groups of people. i know where your coming from, changing a theme in the GUI nezer changes it in mozilla, but did you know you can still get mozilla themes, did you know you can MAKE mozilla themes. make it look how you want or look for what you want.

Linux doesn't need a unified look. In fact, it's not even a logical statement since Linux is simply a kernel. Gnome and KDE are desktop environments which run on Linux but can also run on FreeBSD, OS X, Solaris, and other OSes. Personally I think the choice I get with Linux is a good thing, and while "Joe Sixpack" may not like it, that doesn't mean I can't like it. Besides, there are many Linux distributions such as RHL 8 which do have a fairly unified look across all applications and environments. I know mozilla doesn't have antialiased fonts, but it *will* in Red hat linux 8.1.
