Hi Steve,<BR>
<BR>
what you wanted me, or anyone else to be aware of by going through that article I understand.<BR>
<BR>
Talking for myself, the only reason why I haven't provided anything else but writing down some basic thoughts is because I wanted to know the community's standing on the matter.<BR>
<BR>
I am a designer by degree, dedicated to self-improvement in every area I am involved in, so believe me when I say extensive research and a proper design process are not something unfamiliar to me. Rest assured I am not somebody who needs to be lectured about the design process, but I understand why your raised this.<BR>

I'm a bit too busy to go point by point through your email, but I urge you (and anyone else serious about making design contributions to Xfce) to read this: <A HREF="http://www.markboulton.co.uk/journal/visual-design-is-not-a-thing">http://www.markboulton.co.uk/journal/visual-design-is-not-a-thing</A><BR>
<BR>
Remember, design is a family of evidence-based processes. We currently have data sitting that needs to be analysed in order to redesign interactions around session saving and resuming, and I don't have the time to get started on that. Anyone is free to help, so long as they understand the basics of quantitative analysis and grounded theory.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,

I don't know where you get that information.<BR>
<BR>
My company installs Xfce-based desktops for schools, town halls, SMB's,<BR>
public libraries. Nobody complained about it being ugly.<BR>

Xfce is perfect as it is.<BR>
