I have added a justification to the themes there already - but I think
it is important that others look at it and add/remove what I have
done!

I have also added a column for 'Metacity', 'Icons' and 'Reccomended
Wallpaper'- all these can be set when the uer selects a 'theme' in the
dialogue Mark talked about, thus it is relevant to include them - I am
personally of the view that these themes should change almost
everything - I.E icons (are there 6 really good, complete icon sets?)
and Metacity. Advanced users can tweak them themselves...

Cool :)

Just a side note - I don't see any theme there yet that uses the
Tangerine theme - anyone got any ideas? I don't know any themes except
the new Human that I think it will fit with, but surely we don't want
two themes so similar?
