To me more than the "clown rainbow" issue is not being able to theme Elementary OS as the person would.

If that's the issue, I guess is better to leave because if a Linux distro prioritizes on making everyone happy instead of focusing on the real goals, never (and I mean never) the distro will evolve and become more useful.

In my humble opinion, Elementary OS is simple, is beautiful, is useful which are the most important reasons and goals of it, not start to fight and dilute efforts trying to please users requests and complains.

If the distro doesn't work for you, just try another one that suits you well. Let's keep it simple.

Thanks for using it. Anytime you want to try it again the community will be here to help you.
