This would only make problems worse. We need more people working
together, not more seperated projects competing against one antother.

That JRT does not like Crystal is pretty clear by now...the only thing
to make it clearer would be to perhaps have it tattoed on his forehead.
JRT should perhaps spend more time working on the hi-color stuff and the
two-color stuff, or whatever other stuff he wants to work on and stop
complaining that he deosn't like crystal. To be honest I am sick of
hearing it and the rest of the world is not going to change their
opinions because of one person.

At this time the crystal theme is default in KDE, but for technical and
asthetic reasons we don't change the name in the files :-)
