To be honest, I don't think that's enough. If anyone were to agitate for
a community-based organization of this work, it would be me (especially

Dude you are just spinning your wheels, because I don't understand how
nything up to this point can be called brilliant. I don't claim to know what

No author of any theme is remotely aware of whether or not their submission

I don't know that, if I turn one of my themes into a full-out GTK with
Emerald and Metacity, my time will have been worth it. While we are all
aware that Mark will decide the final

As long as I can remember the Ubuntu Theme has been part of the

OSX is long held as one of the boldest and most unique designs in the
