Which of course it doesn't have to be, but the current developers are very hostile to changing anything about the UI, which of course no one today really wants. Providing the old UI as theme for those who want it is fine, but not updating it to something modern and useful is not.

I really wanted to contribute and help out with GNUstep, but that put me off from attempting anything.

Do I know you? We really are pretty nice. GNUstep can be themed very easily. You are more than welcome to help, ESPECIALLY to make more themes.

See the link below... This is GNUstep using the rik theme... Just one of the many ways the project can look:

I love that FinderSTEP mash-up icon :)

I contacted you a bunch of years ago - and actually I was the maintainer of the script/instructions for building on Ubuntu in the 14.04/16.04 era until plaurent took it over.

Everybody is very nice, but I believe more than just themes is needed. We need a wholesale UI redesign. A discussion happened a bunch of months ago, and it was clear there was no desire to do that.

(And yes I do run the Rik theme :) )
