Devil505, I was excited when I noticed yesterday that you had packaged the Equinox engine and themes. I also understand why you have chosen the GTK+2 theme and icons which are to be the default for Haven. I really admire the work of the GTK+2 theme's artist. I often find out that the themes I most like on deviantart.com were created by him/her. Personally I don't like them as much as my current, personal preferences but they're just that - *personal* preferences. As you've explained before, the default GTK+2 theme needs to be be based on one or more of the GTK+2 theme engines distributed by default with GNOME. Has there been much activity from the artwork team? I've seen messages that they have work in progress, but I haven't seen any previews. I have sent email messages directly to WebEagle, but haven't received any replies. For 1.1 (IIRC) and 1.2 we had a few new people submit artwork, all of which I still admire, and it would be a pity not to see them involved in 1.3. I only recently installed the package containing all known Frugalware wallpapers/backgrounds and they're great, with an amazing variety of styles. IIRC Tomas did some very interesting work, which I would call "modern", perhaps only because I tend to be traditional in my artwork tastes. I have some further thoughts on the other artwork items for GNOME, but I don't have time to describe them now.
