Hi Philipp

Thanks for making the arch build script to guitarix.

to 1.) do you mean the default settings ? Then I must say yes, we have
completely forget to adjust them to the new effects and amp
simulation's, so indeed they are (bad) useless.

to 2. ) thanks for the hint, yup have update it to png.

to 3. ) do you think it's to small, or is it just the font colour with
the sunburst skin ? May we rework the font colour so that we could set
it with the gtkrc file also, in the moment it's hardcoded (pango).

regards hermann
