See, crap like this is why I've lost a lot of respect for Gnome over the years... I didn't have a ton to begin with, but I could respect their more... Apple-ish approach to UI design. Now though, it just seems like they go out of their way to be stubborn about stuff, this being a good example.

The "My Way Or The Highway" approach doesn't earn them much love or respect. I also sorta question their excuse of "well developers already don't like it," as that sorta flies in the face of developers for other platforms. I'm glad to see that (hopefully) the accent colours will move forward, with or without them. If Gnome is gonna act that way, then they should be left to their own devices and not be catered to.
