NewWave
It is time to give a modern look to our favorite distribution! The new theme should make a more clever use of orange than previously (not over-use it), should be mainly color-neutral, and everyting except taskbars and windows borders should be white or light gray for readability reasons and to keep everything less heavy than many existing dark themes.
Palette
A [http://fc07.deviantart.com/fs27/f/2008/122/6/7/Agroprogress_by_denull.jpg good starting point] for the palette (missing some light gray):
Concept
This artwork gets rid of the old-fashion looking GLASSY effect, which was cool 6 years ago. Time to move on!
This is inspired by the [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/gelatin Gelatin theme] and [http://lassekongo83.deviantart.com/art/Elements-VS-82691770 this XP theme].
The icons used in "places" are not mandatory; I just tried something new, but I'm sure we can find something - not glassy - better.

Sorry for the size: this is how it would look like on a 1024x768 screen.

Comments
* Hoenstly, this is really no different and less easy on the eyes as the current theme. It looks still like a 90's operating system.
