Gnome 1.2 looks

[Cory Lueninghoener <cluening cse unl edu>]

I am not sure if this has been discussed someplace else and I am missing
it, or if it never came up and I am the only person who noticed it, but I
thought I would ask.  If it has been discussed elsewhere, I would happily
accept a pointer in the correct direction

Anyway, I (and a few other people judging from various posts on various
web pages) liked the Gnome 1.0 panel applet looks better than the newer
ones.  I liked the always-visible buttons on the QuickLaunch applet better
than the mouse-over pseudobuttons, I liked the sunken look of the
tasklist, and I liked the diagonal stripes on the deskguide better than
the hashed look, among other things.  Maybe I am just missing some
configuration setting someplace, but I see noplace that lets me make thos
applets act that way again.  Is there some deep reason I am missing about
why they look as they now do?  Or is ther some way an option can be added
in the future to make then look like they used to?
