Hi I wouldn't bother too much about default theme, I was pretty happy with echo, later I have changed to other...Default clearlooks is OK, but would be nice to add some more themes for user to choose from. I couln't find any good looking dark themes for fedora, unlike ubuntu this need to be improved on fedora. Dark themes are quite popular. I have installed opensolaris theme nimbus on my ubuntu 8.04, but themes are matter of personal preferences. Very important IMO is desktop background, something which can put user on his kneel. I know that default colour for fedora is blue ( much better than brown !), but shouldn't it be a little less blueish, something with more life...but its art problem, difficult to describe. Tom

Hey all,
we've been discussing the idea of changing the default GTK+/Metacity theme in F12. Nodoka has been the default for a while, and it seems to undergo a major rework now ( http://mso-chronicles.blogspot.com/ ).
We don't want to do a radical visual change, though. The idea is to go back to the upstream default, Clearlooks.
Let me know what you think. I'd like to make this change for the alpha.
I must say I always look enviously to the OpenSUSE's and Ubuntu's of this world with their slick dark or semi-dark ("Sonar"? "Dust"?) themes. Fedora needs one too. (Or at least the ones stolen from opensuse/ubuntu)
