Yes, obviously.

why not, yes. Difficulty is to find a good theme ... if anybody has an 
idea...
Problem is, I know some themes that are nice, but I doubt they have the
OpenStep look we want :-)
like http://art.gnome.org/themes/icon/677/ or 
http://art.gnome.org/themes/icon/675/ ...

er, well, please people, try to agree :-) some told me it was XP-ish 
(?), now
it's Aqua-ish ... :-)
Honestly, I don't think it's much aqua. The only thing like aqua is the 
"halo" for
focused widgets, but that's all.

Anyway, there will be more than this theme, so..
