Re: GNOME Art Awards

So wait, because you're too lazy to upgrade a five year old computer all experimentation and innovation in Free Software should be stalled so you don't get left out. Yeah, that's going to happen :P

SVG themes are aimed at recent systems and those of the future that will have screen resolutions of 3000x2000 or more. Heaven forbid somebody looks to the future rather than wasting time optimizing for curmudgeonly forum posters!
