that's the idea..

But yes, I wouldn't mind a slightly enhanced "default" look. Perhaps 
something
along the lines of Camaelon 0.1 -- at least, change the default gray to 
a more
bright gray (I know, I know, with correct gamma, the default theme is 
ok, but frankly,
nobody use gamma correction :-/ -- just have a look at the default 
themes for gtk/gnome/kde/windows..)
