[ubuntu-art] How the first theme is chosen for the user.

[Arjuna Navaratna]

Just wanted to make a suggestion...

I like the idea of letting the user determine which of the 'human element'
theme variations is used. But instead of asking the user when they first
login, what if the option is available after installation. That way the
login screen itself could be different based on the theme choice...

fire, water etc. style gdm themes?

Personally, I'm loving the element idea as soon as I read it. It would
really set ubuntu apart in terms of looks with pretty much every other OS
out there.
