Yep, I think a Samsung S7 style "always on" lock screen with minimal
graphics for notifications etc could be nice (for devices with amoled
screens). I think we are going to be looking at revisiting the infographic
soon so this could tie in with that project.

Ability to change default theme from system settings - I guess best way to
address that is to raise a bug - I think MPT has been working on System
Settings so maybe ping him too on IRC.
