jeez, do you really want to be /that/ close to an elephant all day?

i think that's what i'd call a specialist aesthetic preoccupation.

i'm never been convinced of the earthy theming anyway, let alone the
emulation of glass (gloss) or any other material metaphors on the
desktop. 

i think the cleanest themes are those that simply don't a) try to make a
strong artistic statement and b) don't try to bring the corporeal world
into the digital. 

in the end is just smells like a bad magic trick.
