New Default Theme?

[David E Jones]

Now that we have some nice themes in place I'm wondering if we  
shouldn't change the default theme, especially for the back-end. The  
old blue-grey-flat theme (which we should probably move to a theme  
component) is functional and I suppose lightweight too, but perhaps  
doesn't give the best first impression.

Right now we have 2 alternative themes for the back-end (the bluelight  
theme and the smoothfeather theme which is meant to look like the new  
web site), and 1 alternative theme for ecommerce (the multiflex theme).

One issue with all of these is they haven't been tested as thoroughly  
as the old stuff, but I'm not too worried about that because there are  
issues with the new default lots of people will see it soon and we  
should be able to get things fixed pretty fast. In my own testing both  
of the back-end ones seem pretty solid (I haven't played with the  
ecommerce one yet).

Anyway, please respond with your thoughts on this. I considered  
opening a vote, but a general discussion is probably better first (and  
a vote may not be needed depending on how this discussion goes).

BTW, yes, this is for marketing purposes and should happen before the  
release branch next Tuesday.
