Then you may also consider to download and run it to see this in action.
Or you mean the screenshots already make you wet? :-)

The images may look goofy, but they make more sense in the About dialogs.

Anyway, you may want to rm the images for one or another reason or set
ARCHWAY_NO_IMAGES at run time, they are fully optional. Hopefully later
some artist will create a new magical image set that looks uniform.

If there are HIG experts on this list, they are welcome to participate.
But I hope you don't really expect a usability work in the second month
of the developement.  Let us learn GTK thorouhly first. :)

Are there any wishes from those who tried it? What do you miss the most?
