No one :D. I can guarantee this. There's a simple difference between clearlooks and murrine: murrine is currently supported and developed, clearlooks is dead one year ago (except few updates/bugfixes) as you can see in gnomecvs. This is due to the creator of Clearlooks, Remenic, who is no longer updating clearlooks (he has no more time to it) http://www.stellingwerff.com All bugs found on clearlooks are currently ported to murrine (as gnome devs tell me on #gnome-art) > By using it and getting a sense for its look & feel (definitely > different than Clearlooks), snappiness/speed, and > customizability/available themes is what I was thinking.
