At any rate, I think we've used this topic up.
I hope so.
People will not see a fresh GUI on first run and that's just the way it is.
I think that's a conclusion completely at variance with the comments I've been reading on this list!
There appear to be two main points of view -
The conservative camp:
The NeXT style interface is one of the best looking ones ever produced, it looks fresh and distinctive, but could be tweaked/modified as there is always room for improvement... if someone can produce an even better theme, let's use it.
The revolutionaries:
The NeXT style interface is bad/dated/dull and puts people off. We should replace it with something new, but keep the existing interface as a theme for those who like it.
So unless you want to attribute some ludicrous degree of extremism to anyones position, there is nobody who is completely against any changes, and nobody who wants to trash the existing look.
There are at least a few people actively working on theme-engine/design/icons. The time to argue about the best default theme is when we have a selection of working themes to choose from (I expect I'll like the NeXT theme best, but I hope to be pleasantly surprised by something else).
