Hey,
wow, we are in the typical theming discussion. I must play my card
again, or my voice shall get forgotten.

GNUstep, I believe. needs a theming system which is flexible and
extensible. This will allow people to make new themes that make
GNUstep look like whatever they want it to. I would, personally,
prefer a significantly updated NeXT look to be the default theme (think
about what NeXT's UI might look like, if NeXT hadn't been bought by
Apple).
I agree that we need a good theming engine, which should unobtrusive for
those who don't care about it.
I think the default theme should remain the next one, it is what I love
and what I think makes gnustep look so professional. We should then
offer a couple (really one or two) clear, updated themes which still
have next spirit (not osx clones). A bit like Mozilla does. Then I
envision a website or anyway a repository where to find other, varied
themes, a thing that almosst eveveryone lese does.
I then also thing that we need an official color-scheme handler (like
the one in backbone) for systempreferences. I might acutally write it
together with Enrico. Furthermore, and this is important, it should come
with a couple of ready color schemes (unlike someone else...)
Colors are half of the issue I believe and telling people to fiddle with
nsdefaults is unacceptable.
Have fun,
Riccardo
