"For a while now, Clearlooks has been the default theme in Fedora; in fact, for a long time, Clearlooks has been the default theme in a number of distros thanks to its place as Gnome's default. Aiming to give Fedora its own distinct and modern appearance is Nodoka: based on its own theme engine it's extremely fast, and when seen in combination with the rest of the artwork for Fedora 8 is beautiful. Read on for an interview with Martin Sourada and some screenshots of the theme."

But they're both blue! 
Seriously, I think the new theme is excellent. I used a theme for WindowBlinds some years ago which had a similarly elegant mix of clarity and simplicity about it. There are no wasted lines/gradients--everything that's there has a definite purpose. It doesn't detract from the application window's contents, yet it is also not hard to discern the controls' boundaries and current states.

Yes it does. It looks like "Clearlooks meet Murrine" (or vice versa). Not bad, IMHO. Not as flat and boring as standard Clearlooks and not as aggressive as Murrine normally is, but quite nice in between.
In Danish we'd call it "den gyldne middelvej" (The Golden Middle Road). I like that.
