New GNOME2 default theme proposal

Submitted by erikg on Fri, 2003-06-06 15:05. 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.

Personally, if this (the theme on your top right) was the default theme for gnome (maybe not the window manager though), or even available for gnome, I would be a convert. It looks great, and most gnome themes simply suck. I have for a while now been looking for a nice theme that compares with Mosfets Liquid, and quite simply NONE do!

I will continue to use KDE however untill this is so, although (as is evident by my even being on this site) I am very interested in switching to Gnome, and only wish I could find something I could live with looking at while using.

I beleive the only reason people use KDE etc over Gnome (especially those using Linux) is because of the look and feel of Gnome. If people started making themes that, well, didn't suck, most of them would switch also!
