It seems to be working quite well here. No crashes or problems for the most 
part. I did have to change the icon set for LO6. Mostly because the defaults 
are already grey and hard to see to begin within. Once I did that all was 
well. I have it exactly as I needed, everyone says they can see the 
differences between "things" (text, sliders, radio buttons etc). It's the 
backgrounds they complain about. They brushed metal allows them a solid, but 
un-distracting background. I've tried using grey colouring but it's uneven. 
Often showing some sections as white. If I could manage to figure out how to 
get qtcurve to use the textured background provided in this theme. Then I'm 
done and the old people would be happy.

Hopefully, one day, baghira will work again for those who are unsatisfied with 
qtcurve, which I'm starting to like better. 

Thanks,

Kate
