--- Comment #10 from Emir Sarı <bitigchi at openmailbox.org> ---
Actually OS X does not use a linen anymore, since Mountain Lion it uses a gray
gradient, which is on par with iOS 7 design language. And I believe we do not
have to worry about much iOS 7 design compatibility, considering we got even
not totally native ruler background after more than 10 years. 

This has become more of an infinite loop kind of, someone submits something,
then someone opens a bug, someone submits another thing and this goes on.
Without any specifications and roadmap this is bound to happen. Then what we
have at hand is some non-understandable freak interface which carries parts
from both Mac OS, Carbon, Cocoa, GTK etc. which can break or change any time
whenever someone decides something on his/her own. 

LibreOffice is a pro application, if we are going to use a design language on
OS X, it might be the Apple Pro apps, which is darker, and not likely to change
any time soon.

To end these pointless discussions, I suggest creating specifications and
documenting them, therefore directing volunteers/developers contribute in that
direction. If the UX team is willing to start such initiative, I am more than
ready to contribute.
