I agree we could ship more themes, and more higher quality ones at
that.

I guess the first step is to get these packaged up and added to the
fedora repos. Then we could all take a closer look and see if we want
to change the default or just ship them as options. ;)

Would you like to package them up? I'd be happy to review/sponsor you,
or if you don't have time or aren't interested in that, perhaps someone
else here in the SIG would be interested in packaging them...

I see greybird lists as also having a gtk3 theme? That could be very
nice for us as we use some gtk3 apps by default and it would be nice to
get them matched up with whatever gtk2 theme we are using
(NetworkManager, etc).
