Object in general to any additions not done on maintainer's request. I've done way too much cleaning up of bugs in things that are supposedly maintained as is. Object in specific to Thin Keramik: it has fundamentally broken palette handling; and as the present maintainer of Keramik I object to it using the Keramik name. Active Heart: horrid config dialog (I imagine the usability people will have something to say about having 6 tabs there!), and some of the color configurations are fundamentally broken. Some pretty obvious bugs: default buttons are not marked; when buttons have icons, text is not centered right Alloy: I am not sure the licensing stuff quite works out, since the permission for use of 3rd party artwork has restrictions on where it can be applied, which may not be compatible with the GPL... On the other hand, it's currently maintained by Sandro, who has a great record maintaining plastik. Needs busy indicators to be fixed, though Comix: it really shouldn't have separate color settings, and also needs a default indicator for buttons at least, but it's an interesting one.
