Re: [Gimp-gui] What should be the default theme and icon theme?

[Kevin Payne <paynekj hotmail com>]

Well I'm pleased you've re-named them in git because I was about to complain about the names- Darker is a 
relative term, It's darker than what? Than the Dark? Than the Grey? But you have now established that Darker 
is darker than Dark! (and Lighter is lighter than Light) and thankfully we don't have to think about 
localising the names.

As you say, the theme defines which symbolic icon-theme to use, and my choice of theme would be the mid-grey 
(but personally I will modify it to make the text white instead of dark) With the light symbolic icons.

As far as a new name for the "Default" theme - I think "System" does the job.

And on a side note, I'm not continuing with making pixel-aligned icons because I've been unable to get anyone 
to communicate a decision about what sizes are the default.

3/ Since "Default" won't be the default theme anymore, how should it be
renamed? Basically that's the theme which follows the current desktop
theme. So should it be "System"? "Desktop-integration"? Something else?
