Especially since KDE asks at the beginning which style they want to use
anyway... If we add a Debian Theme that is the default selection, users
accustomed to KDE could always select the KDE default look at the first
login...
(But i HATE that druid of KDE... why do i have to select the language
and keyboard again? my admin already configured these...)

Yep, the only useable KDE Themes i know are the "light" ones ;)
I prefer Gnome2 for the very same reasons, that it hasn't got much eye
candy (except icons with nice shadows ;)

Yep, it's a major drawback we don't have a discrete color - well, ok,
that SuSE Green would be even uglier, but i remember having seen KDE
Themes using that very color ;)
Thats why i considered it for highlight uses only. Marking text with
that ugly color is ok imho ;)
Any better suggestion? I'd like to use dark red, but red is... redhat?
Well, their screenshots doesn't suggest they use it for themes though...
* Maybe we should put out a call for Artwork?
