Oh OK. I don't fine the look "top-heavy" myself but then,  I am not the
artiste...

Now this, is "top heavy"

http://art.gnome.org/themes/metacity/666

I know I've tried it.

And to me, "not trendy" in the X-GUI world is anything related to
GNUstep/Windowmaker/NEXTstep, Motif, ICEWM or anything using GTK1.

Oh and then there's the previous default GNOME 2 theme which was "Crux"
 and was always rather ugly.

Clearlooks beccame GNOME's default in GNOME 2.10 and is a vast improvement.

I don't have any problem with the Clearlooks Metacity theme. It's not
great, but it's not ugly either.  It's pretty neutral, which I think
might be what they had in mind.

Now if Dapper would just jettison that default brown stuff... ;-)
