This is the second time I read this.  To be honest, I haven't checked the 
looks of it since my Linux has too old libraries to compile Calligra Active so 
I can't check how bad it is.

But I'm sure that Shantanu and Sujith would love to have some help to design a 
better main screen. Especially since from what I hear and see in the latest 
blog the rest of it is pretty awesome. I'd hate to see Calligra Active pushed 
away from visibility because of a small thing like this.
