Don't be sorry, everyone's opinion should be heard. I have mixed<br>
feelings, the old theme seems to kidish but the new one is too gray.<br>
Now is a good time to look at which icons are causing the most issues<br>
and revamp them.<br>

Hi Larry,<br>
it's a total surprise to me, since I thought I was following list<br>
intensivly. I remember voting against gis theme, but majority did choose as<br>
default. That's fine, I'm OK with the vote. But I was thinking having the<br>
choice to switch back to classic theme !<br>
I submitted both themes to users and all of them in my corp wanted to keep<br>
classical one. By myself, I really have visual difficulties with gis theme<br>
(to much blue-grey, very few pixels to distinguish functions, overly<br>
complicated icons..)<br>
Moreover, I must say I've not been able to fund anything for months in QGIS<br>
project due to the lack of visibility. Please think of us and let us see<br>
more clearly where we can help the projects.<br>
<br>
Sorry for that message, but these last minute surprises really starts to be<br>
a problem to me.<br>
