I have the screenshots checked and the statement is simply not true. Apart from the KDE screenshots with glossy and shreaking icons, most others use a mixture of "Bluecurve" and "GNOME" icons. What is mor important is that there is *no* other preferred theme. What "Bluecurve" has suffered most from is that in its almost 4 years of existence, a sufficient coverage has never been achieved. This disavantage would have held for any other theme. And why do you call the colors faded out? Look e.g. at the "Administration / Security Level and Firewall" icon. Isn't that colorful? I for my case do not at all think that "Bluecurve" made my desktop sad. Stock "GNOME" actually did with its overall olive green color scheme. Finally, it's no a matter of "killing" or "getting rid of" the current "Bluecurve" theme.
