Other/future projects • Re: GTK2 revival

Personally I'm quite ready to suffer an unpleasant look and feel in something i use seldom. But for Pale Moon, which is always there on my desktop, after a firstr try with GTK3 I wnet back to use consistently the GTK2 version ... at least from 29.4.1 according to my notes. The reason is that I like a minimalistic look and fell like this

To achieve this something was done inside Pale Moon (like text-only buttons), but something had to be done outside (the font and gray colour) ... in the old X11-compliant time this would have been done with a a few .Xdefaults resources ... but with GTK2 it was a matter of I guess three lines in an 8-line .gtkrc-2.0 . Definitely learning to program a theme would have been overshoot,
