In regards to going lighter with Lubuntu, we must remember our key targets
and goal.  I switched my GTK and Openbox themes to dark themes and it added
another 40 minutes to my netbook's battery when on full brightness, over an
hour with minimal brightness.  I took every step to ensure that it was just
the colors changing that changed the battery life.  Being LXDE aims at
having a minimal footprint, using dark themes helps minimize power
consumption, continuing with the goal.
