New GNOME2 default theme proposal

Gnome Art

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 have to say that OSNews is not the place to be campaigning for a new GNOME2 default theme.

The person that shouts loudest is not always right.

Despite liking the theme quite a bit, it has too many niggly flaws for me (and from what I've read for quite a lot of people) to be considered for a default theme.

The current theme is a bit drab.

The bluecurve theme on RedHat is a bit big.

If Eugenia wants to design a theme then fine, but it shouldn't then be foisted upon everybody as a default.
