Thank you for replying Charlie, and I agree with you on all counts.
The terminal looks horrible in Xu12.04, and I _don't_ have vision
problems. Also, after 'living' with Greybird, it also presented
several usability issues for me, such as being able to tell which
window was active as Christoph also mentioned earlier in the thread),
and being able to grab the resize handles on windows.

I really wasn't suggesting a theme change anywhere, just including
screenshots to show how different distro's setup Xfce. I *did* think
there were some areas that could be more polished, but Christoph
answered most of my questions around those things also.

I really hope Fedora continues to work well for you, because I *know*
you will be an asset to this SIG.

I *do* think that Fedora can be a real showpiece for Xfce (just like
it is for GNOME). It's very, *very* close right now.
