Heya, I'm obviously very excited about this, but some comments: Please let's clean up the theme list a little bit. Right now it is proper chaos. The theme called "Default" which has the comment "Gnome Default Theme" is not even the default theme since quite a while. If we'd now add Clearlooks and ClearlooksBlue, both with the same comment, things would become insane. :) One alternative would be that you just call it Clearlooks and we change the Clearlooks default to be what you have in mind (at least for the metatheme, which is GNOME specific anyway). Another one would be to call it Default or maybe GNOME Default. In any case I think the comment should be changed to reflect that it's the default (and I agree with Luca that the current one is rather silly, even though it was my idea :P).
Also have you considered Clearlooks-DeepSky? We both like that one and it would probably be our recommendation. It's more light and friendly looking, but still "gnomey" (the background uses GNOME palette colors). Finally, are you planning to use a current snapshot of the Clearlooks engine? AFAIK the current snapshot in gtk-engines is somewhat dated and there are a lot of refinements in the latest release. I don't know how much those details matter for screenshots.
