Last night, while I was doing my nightly 'apt-get dist-upgrade', I caught the new gnome-terminal package (2.0). I can't help but saying that I think it really stinks. :<
It grabbed this huge 100dpi font for the toolbar. There weren't nearly as many configuration options as in the older version. None of the fonts that I was able to choose from looked "right". The 'translucent background' option also blurred the background image. All in all, it was much, much uglier than the earlier versions of gnome-terminal. Since well over half of my time in front of a computer is spent looking at a terminal, it MUST be somewhat appealing. I know that there's only so much that a designer can do with lines of text, but it seems like this new version was such a step backwards as far as visual appeal goes. I just had to get this off of my chest. I'm interested in knowing if there are other debianites out there that have similar feelings about the new gnome-terminal. I'm not saying that I'm switching to KDE (yet), but I am greatly disappointed in this latest gnome app. Cheers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen W.
