great.

it's not a bug, it's a feature (actually it 'fixes' the previous bug that the 
GUI would say 'not connected' when the core is already running and connected 
to a server. Not much you can do about it. It will show the server name when 
you connect to the next server) ;-)

it seems to me that the correct x.part filename is not always correctly 
transfered for each download. Sometimes new/added downloads don't show it 
correctly, or only some of the already started downloads don't have it 
(resulting in a message).

yeah, it's a known issue. Pretty much at the bottom of the TODO-List though.

you can't switch off the icons. well, you can just delete all the 
filetype-*.png icons in your theme directory 
(/usr/local/share/ed2k_gui/icons/<theme>/ probably)

list background colours are a theme thing. Most themes do use the 'rule hint' 
though and show alternating darker/lighter colours as list background. I 
might implement an option to switch off the rule hints for the list, but it's 
not top priority at the moment. Better add it as a feature request, so I 
don't forget it (same for the bold text, that's not theme-related, but a GUI 
thing).

if you have the 'I hate green' option enabled, the colours etc. are 
theme-related. You need the 'switch2' utility though ("Gtk theme switch 2.0 
beta", for some distros there might be a gtk-theme-switch2 package or 
something). GTK+-2.x themes seem to be independent from GTK+-1.2 themes 
(that's how it is on my debian sid with kde3.1 system). See:

Don't know about fonts to be honest. They look alright on my box. Maybe go to 
irc.gnome.org, channel #gtk+ and ask there.

%cd /usr/local/share/ed2k_gui/icons/<icon_theme>/
%su
(enter password)
#mogrify -resize 75% "*"

will resize all icons in that directory to 75% of the current size. Mogrify 
comes with the imagemagick package (at least on debian sid).

At some point in the future, I'll make font and font sizes configurable as 
well, but only after the next release.
