The default theme for 2.16 has been changed from Clearlooks to Clarius. This is apparently just Clearlooks without the glossy scrollbars.
Rant the first: This change was made on August 8th: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/libgnome/schemas/desktop_gnome_interface.schemas.in?rev=1.26&view=log That's after every freeze we have except the hard code freeze. And yet, I saw no discussion or announcement on d-d-l or the documentation list. Yes, even the name of the default theme is a big deal. What is so hard about keeping us informed? Rant the second: What's the point of the name change, really? The Clearlooks theme isn't even in CVS anymore: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-themes/gtk-themes/Clearlooks/ So we're only installing Clarius with gnome-themes. How does dropping the glossy blue scrollbars constitutes a name change? Those glossy blue scrollbars weren't even in the old Clearlooks that I originally pushed through as the new default theme some release cycles back. I'm going to coin a new term: key churn. This is when people make frivolous and unnecessary changes to GConf keys or their default values. It sucks for large deployments. Gnome is bigger than your personal desktop.
