Wait until he hears about Gnome :)
I used Gnome 12-13 years ago and was immediately disappointed with "config.files" for changing colors, fonts and everything else, so I switched almost instantly to KDE (3.5).

The Gnome-thing is very simple, they use Gtk and thus each application have his own color. So instead to prevail the concurrent with application-feature they make individual colors to distract the "users".

The Gnome-politic was never a good-one and Gtk was never good too.

Icons, Backgrounds, etc. should leave the *.bmp/*.png format and switch completely to *.svg (a graphic-vector-format) that allow to make an icon or background with a couple of Bytes. With *.svg you don't need a ton of Icons in different sizes but just one, the "frame" (e.g. a "Tool-Bar") in which-one the icon come-in define the dimension/size. The dimension of icons, background, etc. in a *.svg is defined by one "Header" inside of themself.

Qt & *.svg are a kind of *.html in a GUI-App in which every graphic are some lines that everybody can change and adjust including the colors. The "Function-s" underneath each icon is also a bunch/couple of lines. All this together save time, resources and healthy even in apps using own icons.

We need more and better functions (like the ISO Collate of kde4 present in the Qt-edition of Artix) and no more and different color in icons, frames and backgrounds.

Clear! Nobody is perfect, even KDE not. They messed everything up with kde5. In kde4 we had "Collate ISO" (much better in File-Manager-s) and homogenous appearance by just setting it twice: one in normal "systemsettings" and one in `kdesudo systemsettings`. Today is a challenge to get the same results => no better but worse.

If some applications are not running at all or if Wayland is not yet finish, is Gnome, Gtk, Nvidia and Intel to blame and ofcourse even the most important Distros. By "SystemD" was no noise, no delay, no fight... nothing! They just insert secretly already in Kubuntu 14.04. Even Richard Stallman "discover" it as was to late   >:(
