Did you read the email I sent earlier today?

As a matter of fact over my lunch I put together four themes based on
clearlooks. I used the same wallpaper for each, an image of sakura
blossoms, desaturated and then added a hue to match each of the
themes.

I will create a poll and start asking some of the people I know to
give their opinion on the appearance to see what they like.

I have two concerns... the human icon theme does not look good with
the colours I'm using. I'm going to take a wild guess that it would
not be OK to ship another set of icons on the CD so I've got to work
out a solution to this before I make the screenshots.

The other concern is how to get the most meaningful results. I've set
the themes so that the only difference is the colour. Would it be
meaningful to have four screen shots of themed desktops stacked one
above the other and letting them choose the one they like? Should
there be an application open on the desktop, and if so, what?
