Professional = something looking polished, that developers/designers put thought on. But the most important is for the design to be usable: the large majority of users to feel comfortable with. When I am playing a fantasy RPG I am happy with the cursor being shaped as a sword, but when doing graphics in Inkscape, it *must* be clean and black like Bluecurve (so I have good contrast with the document). > Maybe an option should be made to customise the desktop according to the > personal preferences, thus the 'philosophy dispute' about the design > image could be ended. Changing the cursor theme is only a few click away for an user willing to do it, but the out-of-the-box experience must be good, as the large majority will stay with that. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
