Theme support in GNOME

[Zeitgeist <zeitgeist comcast net>]

Hello;

With GNOME going the way of accessibility, usability and conformity
(which is great BTW), I have an idea for GNOME development which may or
may not have been discussed before.

As it is right now, there is no real "default" GNOME theme, I feel if
GNOME was to supply just one default theme and icon set (incomplete and
inconsistent icon sets is another problem) it would enhance usability.
Of course, this would take a lot of debate and deciding on what the most
usable theme would be for the default, but I feel it would help GNOME
out. KDE has gone the way of millions of options and I see GNOME going
to usability and the way of the HIG.

Themes, if a user really wants it, could be handled in a software not
included in the default install. Microsoft Windows does this, even
though I doubt they want it that way, but it increases usability as the
user is not consistantly figitting with options and themes.

That's just my 2 cents and hopefully this topic will generate some good
discussion.
