I prefer dark themes because light ones are like staring into the sun, but since the vast majority of dark themes are created by guys, and guys tend not to be serious fans of pink (even when they make pink themes for their girlfriends, they’re always light), I customised my own. It completely lacks any good taste whatsoever, and I could not possibly care less because I think it’s pwritty! I don’t quite like the icon theme because it’s not the shade of screaming-jesus pink that I really wanted, but it’ll take me a long time to piss around and make one that is, so it will do for now. I did make a pink theme for my clock Screenlet, and I did do the wallpaper, and mess around a bit with the window theme (and change the colour for one of the weather Screenlets, but the other is SVG, so more work). I showed it to P. and I guess the closest word representation of his actual expression would be something like, “Euuuugh!” so…yep, I’m happy with it! 😀

P.S. My original plan had been to test-drive the latest version of Opera for the weekend by switching the target of my Panel launcher from Firefox to Opera (since I’ll go for the orange and blue icon every time no matter what), but I had to put it back to Firefox because too many pages displayed just blank white with Opera. I think it has something to do with sites playing “Russian roulette” with load times and Javascript (Opera loads too fast, so the script doesn’t get to run and the site never correctly renders), but even if it is lovely and standards-compliant, a browser isn’t useful to me if it can’t display all pages. I’ll probably give it a go again sometime, but for now, I guess I’m back to good old Firefox.
