I agree with you Link. Glider seems more functional and usable than 
Indubstrial at this point. Glider makes it easier to the eye to distinguish 
between elements. However, Indubstrial has some nice rounded features that 
give an extra edge to it.

A few months ago we had this discussion again about the painful whiteness of 
industrial and Jeff did a good effort to fix the problem, however I feel 
that still, more needs to be done to take away the "flat, pale, washed out" 
look. If this can be fixed in time for 2.8, I would like to see Indubstrial 
as the default gnome theme. If not, Glider.

(I would stil be using the current "Default/Raleigh" anyway. While the 
"Default" is too grey and the buttons don't have a different color than the 
window views (taking points away from its usability), it is a very well 
defined theme, with harsh lines around toolbars, menus, buttons etc making 
it very clean to the eyes of both normal users and users who need *some 
minor* accessibiliy (and that's most of us geeks, who need glasses sooner or 
later). Theme writers should learn from the Default regarding the well 
defined 3D-look lines.)
