tastes, even the ugliest things are considered "beautiful" by some people. And
for that matter, I don't consider the GA wallpaper to be ugly at all.)

I'm not sure that consistency is more important.
In addition, your proposed theme changes break Jaroslav's KDM and
KSplash
theme designs.
I already volunteered to recreate them but there's no hope of changing
the wallpaper now, so nevermind.

That's why I wrote "technically".
I think we could have all done without that little quip. I feel it's
very disrespectful to the handful who are actually carrying the load,
including Tatica, Martin, and Jaroslav.
