I see that most people prefer Flat Grey.
Let me explain why I prefer Tomahawk.
Did you ever wonder why the paper we write on has more than often a greater
height than width, why newspaper have many columns, etc.
Here is an answer
http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/3553/why-do-newspapers-use-multiple-columns
OK, my argument: don't you feel a pain to find an application, a menu entry in Flat Grey? No? Then you are used to find it at some
place and don't care anymore. Now just imagine the same for a new user...
This is where Tomahawk is better. It's far easier to find an entry in 2 colums (applications in Tomahawk) than in 7 columns
(applications in Flat Grey). Or an entry in an application (1 column for Tomahawk, up to 14 in Flat Grey). Just try it
Another point: Product screens are awful in Flat Grey (to many buttons for menus, hard to spot). Though actually I believe Tomahawk
would benefit from a third column, for instance for Product. This could be 2 twin columns if more than, say, 15 entries would show
in a column. Like we have for Applications, though not sure how it's organized. I mean why some are in right column and other in
left one? Also something wich could help spot entries quicker would be to allow sorting entries in menus by language. It's now only
done based on English.
OK, now there is the RTL feature. Who use it? Few I guess (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-left
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-to-right#Directionality). Which does not diminish RTL importance, but ponders it in choice for a
default theme.

My vote will be to keep two themes in the project. IMO Flatgrey theme is
the best to keep as the default one for the project.

Jacques proposed to keep Tomahawk (default) and Flat Grey.
Olivier proposed to keep just one (Tomahawk, I guess).
No other comments so far.
What should be do with the remaining themes? Attic or Extras? Are there
volunteers for Extras? I would suggest that, if we move them to Extras we
create *one* project only (for all the themes) rather than one project for
theme... but I would love to get your feedback on this.
