Dark Themes have come up in discussion here, but also a little bit on Planet Gnome recently. Jimmac, in this post:
http://jimmac.musichall.cz/log/?p=395 is very pro dark themes. But he also suggests that vanilla Gnome should ship withe default dark theme so that developers could see the issues of dark themes. Maybe shipping a dark theme in Hardy wouldn't be a bad idea after all. I'm running a dark theme on my Xubuntu laptop at the moment and I'm liking it more and more as I use it. Only Epiphany and Firefox are giving me troubles with it, but they can most all be fixed with custom default stylesheets, a feature both browsers support.
Anyway, I just wanted to bring dark themes up again since even Jimmac is for the idea, although in another context. And they are the best lookin' >
