Assuming the vast majority of Unix users will be using either Gnome or KDE,
that is a non-native look for Unix. In fact, "Classic" looks like RISC OS to
me, and "Revitalized" looks like old Windows.
I must confess I don't understand the idea of tweaking pixellated widget
toolkits when everyone else just moved on to hardware-accelerated vector
graphics with integrated 3D. Especially when the fastest renderer available
is written in OCaml, free and cross platform... :-)
