It's quite offensive that, to present a series of issues as a newcomer, you have to endure comments like:
“you can't fix the world... some people still think earth is flat.”
This is a very welcoming way to attract people to this project.
Fortunately, I don't care about such nonsensical remarks from people who haven't paid attention to what has already been discussed.
As I mentioned, I've already tried the Rik theme, and this is the output I get when trying to compile it:
Compiling file Rik+Table.m ... Rik+Table.m:12:3: error: redefinition of enumerator 'GSTabSelectedLeft' GSTabSelectedLeft, ^ /usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers/GNUstepGUI/GSTheme.h:398:3: note: previous definition is here GSTabSelectedLeft, ^ Rik+Table.m:13:3: error: redefinition of enumerator 'GSTabSelectedRight' GSTabSelectedRight, ^ /usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers/GNUstepGUI/GSTheme.h:399:3: note: previous definition is here GSTabSelectedRight, ^ Rik+Table.m:14:3: error: redefinition of enumerator 'GSTabSelectedToUnSelectedJunction' GSTabSelectedToUnSelectedJunction, ^ /usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers/GNUstepGUI/GSTheme.h:400:3: note: previous definition is here GSTabSelectedToUnSelectedJunction, ^ Rik+Table.m:15:3: error: redefinition of enumerator 'GSTabSelectedFill' GSTabSelectedFill,
I don’t think that ‘Rik’ theme closely resembles macOS in its looks, at least not for the past 15 years.
As I pointed out in the first comment of my initial email, I think it's impossible to add space to dialog menus by adding "padding" as shown in this screenshot.
Requirements are (for the pop up dialogs):
• Add padding between the boundaries of the popup menu and the list of items it contains.
• Add padding between the space of each item and the text it holds (or vertical space for separators).
• Apply rounded corners to both the menu and the selected items.
• Apply a 'frozenglass' effect to the menu.
Here's a simplified version of the theme I've been working on (mainly for testing), to see if someone can help and manages to create a menu like the one in the previous screenshot.

How would that be? Should we try to get the wiki back online and start collection information there?
yes we should, we were working on that - we need to migrate its content. We need to complete that. The more I am scouring through the website to update it, the more I think that just removing wiki links removes important information.
In my opinion it was a invaluable source of content, especially suited to present also in-progress, draft work.
Many project are organized this way - a simple, main website and a wiki which is more user-cotnributed, dynamic. I always supported this.
Check MacPorts, GTK, XFCE... they are more ore or less split this way.
