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 totally agree.

Another thing I find annoying about her 'proposals' is that she thinks people will appreciate being told

(a) what is wrong with an app in terms of usability,

(b) what features are lacking in the app,

(c) what is wrong with the toolkit, and

(d) how their default theme should look,

ALL AT ONCE! Without distinguishing between these separate issues at all!

Her obsession with BeOS eyecandy over genuine usability is horrific.
