Well, wmaker gives you control over individual background colors, pixmaps,
gradients. That is what makes the biggest visible change in the eyes of
my youngest children. However, I haven't much in the way of themes on
their systems, and the ones that are there are pretty boring, so perhaps
if they had a choice of different eye-catching themes, they'd be trying
out other themes too.

Well, I'm not going to argue one person's qualifications over another.
It's kind of hard to make a choice when only one alternative has been
presented so far. :)

Ah ... well, I think we are getting ahead of ourselves now. We could try
out various themes, web-site mockups, whatever ... discuss it a little bit
and settle on something. If we don't like it or get negative comments, we
can fix it up later. No problem. I'm not sure what would come across
best in either a theme or a web page until I have actually seen it (or at
least a mockup).

Hm. I've seen how messy choosing a logo can be. But then we are a small
group still, so maybe it won't be so bad. Yeah, I'd like to make a run at
coming up with something ourselves for starters. If we get stuck, perhaps
we can ask whoever is in charge of Debian's PR (Nils Lohner maybe?) for
tips for a process.
