</div></blockquote><div><br><br>I ran into some problems with SandSkater, and the whole theme-fuzz seemed to go out of the list at some point, and frankly I lost my motivation on lack of feedback (also, some serious stuff happened in my personal life at that time, so ubuntu-art is not all to blame).

</blockquote><div><br>I'm sorry that I have not found time to revier your themes bvc - especially because you are very kind with your feedback yourself - but real life has made 95% of my foss activities come to a grinding halt.
<br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div style="direction: ltr;">I mean, what exaclty are we looking for? A pure gtk theme (no engine)? Some would probably appreciate that in a newer color scheme than the old gray and dull blue.
<br><br>What's wrong with the smooth engine? Other than the fact that one hasn't been proposed?<br><br>What engines are currently installed by default? Don't forget to remove the ones that go with the themes you remove. They are old and outdated anyway, and can be installed from another packages if people want them. It is a pain the scroll through so many unused metathemes to find one you want. If you deleted them you get them back next update, so yes, please remove most of the old default themes and engines. I can't
even say I haven't used them in a long time, because I have never, ever , used them and don't know anyone who has. All the useless metathemes is the reason I have never used the metatheme feature. It would be a great feature if there were several tasteful metathemes to choose from and you didn't have to scroll through so many bad ones.
</div></blockquote><div><br>My words.<br><br><br>The whole theme state of affairs is a bit sad imo. We really had some momentum at some point, but it seemed to fade out. I really put some energy into it - setting up wiki pages and commiting a few themes my self, but I felt that I was overdoing it since people never really bought into it.
<br><br>I really hope we can polish up the theme side of dapper.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Mikkel<br></div></div>
