Instead of going into any details regarding the Indigo theme I'd rather try to rephrase my comments from the blog post on a more general line.
When I started using qooxdoo I could choose between two themes: Classic and Modern. While I found Classic quite cute (but not really applicable in a web app) I was very slow in getting accustomed to Modern. To my eyes it was unspectacular, had definetely no wow factor and, therefore, could hardly hurt anyone's feelings. Then came the Simple theme - and I was somewhat disappointed. Granted, it's lightweight in a technical sense which may be quite nice to have in certain contexts. However, at least for me, it's also lightweight in a visual sense, i. e. it's even less spectacular and less interesting to play with than the Modern theme. Now it should come as no surprise if I say that in my opinion Indigo is another step towards visual insignificance. There's hardly anything left that could attract the eye, it's so utterly boring that I would never dare to present any of my applications dressed in Indigo to a general public. qooxdoo is such a great and impressive framework, why shouldn't it be possible to have a theme which is capable to reflect that? I know there are many people who prefer not to be visually disturbed by a GUI. For them, there's the Modern and the Simple theme. But there's also a number of people who enjoy looking at a well designed user interface with sometimes tiny details that just please their eyes or encourage to explore and play around with everything their mouse can touch. The Kameleoon app [1] is a perfect example to illustrate what I mean. It's a pity that this superb theme is not available as a qooxdoo contribution.
