Do we want to advertise GNOME as a flashy eye-candy based Desktop? I always liked GNOME's clean, basic, simple interface; it was never cluttered with bouncing icons and flashing lights. That always appealed to me. Is the motivation for a flashy new theme to effectively gain more "market" share?

Here's a list of screenshots that wonderfully demonstrates why GNOME does
not come off as an exciting, fun, cool desktop for end-users to love. They
are not show-off screenshots, just normal, everyday things:

shots is the theme (widget, icon, background and window manager). KDE is
shinier and more eye-catching. It also has more buttons and so looks
more detailed and interesting (in a screenshot), but I think this is a
very secondary concern.
Should we start the default theme flame-fest again? I don't think so.
How about we run a grand default-theme competition and let our community
get involved with the design. (I envisage this being judged rather than
voted on so we get something that is both usable and pretty, because
votes only go to pretty.)
