I'm talking about themes such as Cakewoman, which is graphically
absolutely minimalistic, still very pretty and only about 60 kB. It
hasn't got epplet imageclasses, though. Otherwise, it's completely. I
recommend it -- very nice to your eyes. :)

I do, too. But I've given up to try and learn the subtle science of
making E themes. I leave that to others until E becomes stable and
there is a standard specification for themes. Maybe even that
graphical IDE for themes will get done that Rasterman promised us
around 0.14 or 0.15...
