Lets say you start to use your newly downloaded/burned Ubuntu Hardy and 
the system is clean, nothing on it only entirely default. This is the 
most common place to start with the new releases, is it?

Take it into account that most people are not designer and they have to 
be treated as such whom are not an expert in theming. Our coordination 
should lead us in that direction where simple user is the target, their 
level of knowledge, understanding to make theme changes on the system. 
Their limitation is the understanding, what do they understand and able 
to do with their Linux system.

Why I say this? I do think our motto has to be SIMPLICITY and we have to 
present to the users the freedom of choice as the main direction in Open 
Source world.

Therefore: we should present one dark and one light theme from the same 
type but with different color. In fact it leaves one question open which 
one would be default in the release. Kenneth, do we have possibility to 
survey few hundreds of simple users?

Cheers, Erno [Szerencsefia]
