Also, document (in an easy to find place) how to select alternatives.  
The website should show similar screenshots with each theme so one can 
decide what to use.  A section for package maintainers with things to 
tweak (such as the theme) on the website would be nice too.  While it's 
nice to have a consistent look and feel, different OS projects have 
different goals.  Some might target end users who like a little eye 
candy or "modern" look.  I would argue Ubuntu falls into that category 
and I know we'll probably have to do that in MidnightBSD at some point.
