That makes sense.

Thanks for that :-)

That makes it clear enough for me :-)

So... Back to the theme for F12. If I understand right, you are
completely satisfied neither with Clearlooks nor Nodoka, but deem
Clearlooks to be better candidate for being the default in F12 (for
various reasons stated elsewhere in the thread). Do you have any list
(or something like that) with what you'd like to change in either of
them? I can certainly work on implementing such changes for Nodoka (even
if it won't be default in F12, I'd like to continue with development
both with the current version as well as with the rewrite), and perhaps
might be able to help with Clearlooks as well (no promises though ;-).
