Hi Satyajit,
I think you have really left this a bit late.
While I am not opposed to shipping extra themes, I will not be
putting a non-default theme in ubuntu-gnome-default-settings. Despite
what you say, GTK themes do break each and every cycle, perhaps not as
critical but still plenty of glitches etc. I also have a suspicion that
people looking for a theme, are at a first instance going to search
google for it, rather than checking what is installed.
Now the right way to do this would be to get your theme into the ubuntu
Archives as a package, then we could get it included in the default
install (as an additional theme) if the rest of the artwork team are
happy with that. All of this may be a little late for trusty however you
could atleast try.

No, not as the default theme. Just an additional theme as another
choice. Like additional background.

For now, when I joined, I talked with Alfredo with the
possibility of
including new themes and wallpapers. The wallpaper contest
is already
live. So lets come to the themes.
We cannot include a Gnome Shell theme for obvious reasons.
They break
every release, and when a user installs a newer Gnome
version through
PPA, it'll be pretty broken.
Coming to GTK themes, they no longer break for quite a few
Gnome
releases. New widgets are introduced, but the theme is
backwards
compatible. So I think it's safe to include a GTK theme.
I'll make
sure it is updated for latest GNOME.
I have a theme, named Evolve <http://fav.me/d4dn66o>, that
I would
propose to include in Ubuntu GNOME.
It doesn't use any engine, so no extra dependency. Let me
know what
you think.

Does it mean that the default GTK theme will be replaced? In
that case I will be completely against the change, as we are
Ubuntu GNOME (for good and bad).
Regards.
