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.

Re: New GNOME2 default theme proposal

I think the idea is that the glitzy OS X, Win XP, KDE etc themes are just gimmicky candy that people tire of too quickly. What's really wanted is clean, professional and still asthetically pleasing themes.

Bevels, gradients and rounded edges may look good at first glance, but they age pretty quickly.
