Well said! I am sure that there are many talented artists in the Ubuntu community who could do that. People have different tastes, different backgrounds etc. and what looks cool to somebody may be really distracting to somebody else. Some have art training and some just have opinions based on feelings (like me). Variance would be great to suit the tastes of different people - in fact, in my opinion, maybe it could be a possibility to clean up the themes that come with the Gnome desktop, remove all the outdated non-relevant ones, and replace them with couple of stylish variants which vary from the boring to more brave ones. The default theme would then be the best compromise. A theme should consist of everything; window controls, window borders, colours, theming of menus, possible translucency effects (alpha mask), icons, sounds and background image - so that everything plays nice together so that they aren't just random selection of something that happens to exist already. The brown/orange Human theme is consistent enough that there is no doubt that it has been done about that way, but I mean that all themes provided with the installation should be on the same consistency level. Even the high contrast accessibility themes should look nice (nice shapes, etc.) in my opinion. Couple of themes means maybe less than 7, a handy number that people can memorize easily and that one could possibly see at one sight in the theme selection dialog maybe even without scrolling.
