Yeah you are right there. I am not the best at naming thing things. It
was a friend the came up with the name of the theme for me. Maybe I
can call the the lighter font one 'Debian LibStick Dark Contrast' and
leave the other called 'Debian LibStick Dark'.

The GTK theme I am using is 'Murrina-Leopard-Mod' with the
'gtk2-engines-murrine' as the murrine engine seems to be a lot faster
than Clearlooks.

As I am not much of an artist I have yet to find a nice Debian light
background to use, maybe the default 'debian-blueish-wallpaper.svg'
will do. I have been thinking of doing a proper light version Fluxbox
style.
