gnome-look.org is awesome BUT the only problem it has is that it contains bloat. Lots of it.

We should create a repository for Ubuntu themes which should contain only the themes approved by the design team.

This way we can have a consistent looking interface no matter which theme is being used. Apple has done a great job by filtering apps in the app store.

It has only made the user experience better. I mean look at gnome-look.org, the primary source of theme for gnome/gtk. Let's create something like

get-deb.net for themes. Only approved themes (themes that don't break consistency, like window controls on right) would be available. Themes should be easy to install, may be something

apt://.

And people like me can always head to gnome-look.org and deviantart to customize our experience.
