Not at all. I mean it to be constructive the emacs project should invite
a visual designer of Gnome to improve the default look.

The default look is pretty ugly, no offense. I know people did their
best to come up with something agreeable, but development and visual
design are to different areas for good reason. Good developers are
usually not good visual designers.

If changing the default is refused then I agree a config
option is a  good compromise, because then people can see its effect
at everyday usage and they can judge its merits if they change the option.
