Hi I would also like to see a nice cohesive theme designed. I have seen in the past that you referenced LibreOffice as an example we could follow. IMHO their theme is really bad - from both as aesthetic point of view and from a functional point of view:
https://www.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/Discover/LO52-Screenshots/lo52-writer-02.png The icons are overladen with many small details and too many discordant colours. When I was in Singapore a year or two back, I met up with Ganesh Shanmugam, a local QGIS service provider there. Ganesh had built a customised version of QGIS for use in schools and showed it off to me. One thing I really like is the way they used the same accent colour per toolbar. For example all File icons would get e.g. a red accent, all layer green, and so on. It makes it really easy to: a) find a toolbar even when on a strange computer where things are arranged differently and b) give someone instructions : "click on the third icon from the left in the red tinted toolbar" In Gandesh's implementation, they actually coloured the toolbar background, but I think it would also be nice if we rather used the accent colour (so two-tone instead of monochrome) in the icons. Ganesh maybe you could share a link to a screenie? Anyway just my 2c to the debate.
