Could you give us an URI to the screenshot? Regarding themes, I think we
should come up with some nice system for distributing themes. Personally
I think it would be better to only include ONE standard theme with the
oroborox tarball instead of you choosing which ones should be included
based on personal preference. The one standard theme (let's fight over
which one ;) could simply live in OroboROX/Configure and be named
StandardTheme or something like that. All other themes would then be
available on a central OroboROX website (the wiki on rox.sf.net) for
easy download. Maybe there's a possibility (Thomas?) to maintain an
automatic snapshot tarball with all themes bundled.
(the script would download all listed themes on the wiki and collect
them in a single OroboROX-Themes-<date>.tar.bz2)

It would also be nice if someone kept updating the OroboROX page on
rox.sf.net with new releases, etc... =)

I'll be back with reports of 0.9.7.5
