Having gnome settings was cute, but realistically the desktop
environment should automatically choose the best settings for the target
computer. Manually change anti-aliasing goes against the idea of wanting
the stock GNOME experience.
I don't use these anymore in my main environment and am probably not
interested enough in GNOME to customize it manually anymore. As of now,
I'd rather stay in my comfortable bspwm environment since it's there
that "everything just works".
