New GNOME2 default theme proposal

Eugenia over at OSnews has published a proposal for a new default theme for GNOME2. This is a follow-up to a recent article
about GNOME2 where she says: "Gnome's default widget look is a very boring one, and maybe one of its weak points [...] most users stay with the defaults, so these should be attractive and make sense". I must say the proposed theme looks very, very nice, and I would really want to see this as the default GNOME theme.

Why isn't there any _elaborate_ theme for Gnome? I mean : look at art.gnome.org... there are... like... 4 gtk engines, all flat and real simple... that's all? And only variations on colors???

And the default is plain and dull... Look at modern themes : OS X, Windows XP, even KDE with Keramik, dotNet or Mosfet's Liquid...

Is only Mr Lesage able to design some nice (but still dull) themes for Gnome?

I hope to see some serious artists, not just Gimp wannabes take care of gnome's themes...

I just don't want a Windows 95 look by default.
