applications, developers are more likely to hear you because it
generally is much more applicable to a wider set of people. I am
pretty sure that are dozens of other themes which some of the users
like which isnt being shipped in Fedora Core at all. You should use
the theme sites like http://art.gnome.org or http://kde-look.org.
Applications that grab such themes from various sites and make the
end user experience in changing the themes from a wider variety more
transparent and easier would be a good thing to do. Thats where I
would like to see the effort go towards in extras or even in core
You're missing the point. I said BlueCurve was chosen as a default for
RH8 through FC3 for other reasons, because BlueCurve has never been
the default theme in official GNOME releases.
Red Hat Linux had a development methodology that is different from
Fedora. Clear looks itself is based on the BlueCurve engine and with it
being a potential candidate for the next GNOME default theme, it makes
more sense to flow along with the upstream thing which is an explicit
Fedora design goal.
As I said some time ago, Fedora Core is losing parts of its graphical
identity. The desktop now starts by default with a stock GNOME theme
which does not include a GTK1 theme, the login theme and the wallpaper
are pretty ugly and quite unprofessional compared to the RHEL ones.
Again, You should get into the fedora-marketing list and read the
discussions there and participate if you have good design skills or even
ideas on how to go about making Fedora look attractive and better. It
seems you would rather choose your distribution based on the theme and
wallpapers rather than switching it over to what fit your tastes better.
I am pretty sure any given theme isnt going to please everyone
