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.

Bevels and gradients are things that I think should not be in a default theme. Rounded corners are debatable (done right they can still look professional).

If people want that glitz, they can install themes that have it, but I don't think they have any place in the default theme.

I like the contrasting blue borders though. It improves the accessibility without bringing in the usual ugliness that comes with accessibility themes.
