Water

I can't think of blue without immediately thinking about water - However, I am looking for a new take on water. Troy talked a bit about the way it can morph and evolve into new shapes - I like this idea, and it fits well with the current 'droplet' motif.

I also like the idea that water has NO shape but MAKES a shape - for example in hills and valleys....

What about a Blubuntu GRUB screen? And please build the Blubuntu package in the repos in such a way that the adjustments are done automatically - my mom has no clue how to make the necessary changes in the theme and GDM menu.....

Science

The mercury and water droplets started me thinking along scientific lines...

I like the idea of accuracy and thoroughness - measurement and precision. I think there are some interesting ideas in areas related to science because there is creativity and chaos that is contained in tidy, clean boundaries/environments. Abstract and uncontrolled stuff happens but is measured technically...

Perhaps we could look at the contrast between these - sharp, technical science and abstract, creative, soft nature...?

liquids and chemistry are good friends too - so watery themes could be included here
