Gnometris again acting like tetris

Gnometris is a game provided by gnome. It is in the distribution standard and is just a copy of the well-known game tetris. If you tried to play it recently (in gnome 2.20) you will have notice the speed or the lack of it. I used to play tetris a lot (not on the computer), but when I was a child I played it a lot. Instead of having a PSP or a gameboy (didn't exist then) I had a small toy where I played tetris on. Now the problem with gnometris is that it didn't react fast enough on key strokes especially when the screen was filled.

Now not that long ago after reading an article about the performance in gnometris and how they will improve it in the next+1 version (Not the version that is coming right now). I noticed a reply that let me having fun again in gnometetris. So if you have some performance issues with gnometris and don't want to wait before they are addressed in the next version of gnome, please listen carefully.

The problem is the tango look that requires more resources then the normal look. It consist out of gradients/scalable images/... So a lot to redraw each time the block is going down. Especially if you know that the whole screen is updated each time.

Solution: Change the look of Gnometris to the old fashioned plain look:
1) Open Gnometris
2) Goto Settings
3) Click on Preferences
4) Goto the theme tab
5) Change the dropdown box to Plain

Ain't that cool
