Re: [Fwd: Re: Debian Ciel -- A Theme Proposal for Squeeze]

@Josselin: Thanks for notifying. Should we drop the theme requirements for this release altogether? It would be nice if we
could
 at least have the icon theme. Maybe, if that's not an option, we should
 just stick to gnome-brave, since it already has a Debian icon in the 
start menu (if I remember correctly). Would that icon theme be more 
acceptable? It has after all blue folders which look much better with 
e.g. Ciel. It does create overhead though.

We can resume theming then for another version and commit to Sid.

Metacity and icon themes should be open to discussion (with thorough
testing for the icon theme) but for GTK+ I think it is ouf of question,
given the too short timeframe we have to test the theme correctly. Even
a change in the default colors can lead to some applications being
rendered in an unreadable way.
