GNOME theme engine designer adds transparency to GTK

,----[ Quote ]
| The work that Cimitan has done with the Murrine theme engine since its 
| initial creation often demonstrates the power and flexibility of the GTK 
| widget toolkit. The Murrine theme engine offers advanced features like 
| striped scrollbars and rich gradients. Cimitan says that the addition of 
| translucency effects proves that critics of GTK are wrong.

The GNOME Foundation is still divided because of those who play for Microsoft
