It *is* the clearlooks theme, with a different color pallet.  The engine
takes into account usability concerns, aesthetics, and other things,
which is why its at the top of the list (read: NOT definatively chosen
as GNOME's default).

To those who don't like this engine, great! Ubuntu offers many more,
some installed by default. I personally have never liked the Human (on
top of Industrial or ClearLooks) brown pallet, and it takes me no more
than a few seconds to change to a theme of my preference.  One of the
coolest parts of Open Source is choice.

Thanks,
