:-) Also, any attempt to base the colors for a non-trivial audio
app on desktop themes is likely to produce something horrible.
Getting layout and colors right is IMHO part of designing the app,
and after that nothing should interfere with it.

Having the choice between a 'dark' and 'light' version does make
sense. But I find it quite difficult to get any light one right,
and e.g. Ardour's light theme doesn't work at all or me. 

What do you (Alex) prefer ?
