But, my goal for Edgy is to make an entire suite of ORIGINAL artwork to be there by default. Except for the Ubuntulooks Engine (which should stay, because we like it and all), I want every piece of artwork in Edgy to be original, not based off anything, built from scratch. I've been concerned that the Ubuntu installations have not had 100% original Artwork. On the first version, we used Industrial and a theme based off Glider, 5.04 at least used the ClearLooks engine, but still that Metacity theme stayed! Now for Dapper, we do have an original Theme engine (based off ClearLooks), we have a brand new original icon set (built from scratch!), but now your "Human" metacity is based off ClearLooks 2 Metacity. Why can't we have 100% original stuff?! And I can even tell the difference between Human Metacity and ClearLooks 2 Metacity (slightly different buttons). Even worse, we had several GREAT metacity suggestions on the wiki that we completely ignored!

There, now that my rant is over, let me catch my breath...

Why reinvent the wheel a bazillion times just because something is Not Invented Here[tm]? Perhaps it should be a nice idea to start polishing other parts of the interface during Edgy. There are lots of stuff that needs a lot of love from talented artists, both in Ubuntu and on the free desktop in general.
