I've been viewing Trisquel from a mainstream PC-user standpoint for a while. I came to the conclusion, that, our beloved distro, is lacking an unique design and look. An awesome OS like Trisquel needs it's recognizable look and feel, which acts like a "trademark"; when people see it, they know exactly what is it about. Let's look at Ubuntu example. Ubuntu's colour-rich theme, with the nuances of orange and violet, is widely recognizable. It's that what makes Ubuntu unique, while Trisquel comes more like with "out of the box" -feel. It is then fully on user's responsibility to make it look a little bit nicer to their taste. Customizability is of course the freedom that goes without saying. But if we are going to gain the poplarity which, this beatiful, free platform really deserves, we should give it a purposeful, gentle touch of personality and elegance.

Any thoughts?
