True so true. brown/gray default icons are *very* ugly. I use GNOME on al my [FreeBSD] boxes and the first thing I do is installing the [rocking] BlueCurve iconset. Hope maintainers will see the light once to change the default. Cheers.

Actually, I see more and more people getting tired of bluecurve (on Fedora, where it is the default)... right now I consider gperfection2 to be the absolute best _icon_ theme.

As for the gtk theme I stick with ClearLooks (one of the bluish ones), since I find the gperfection2 color scheme to lack contrast (dark grey text on olive/brown widgets).

Fedora has not used BlueCurve as it's default theme since either FC2 or FC3, it now uses the clearlooks theme (I think the swap was made when Fedora started shipping with two bars).

I use the Clearlooks-graphite theme, it has much better contrast than the gperfection one. I honestly think that the gperfection or the graphite suite should be the new default, it's very nice o the eyes.
