Perhaps it's time to make a pixmap theme the default, to put the "best foot" of the free desktops forward, and let those with old hardware manually switch?

There's very little concensus on what really is the "best" desktop theme. If you look at the rankings on the freshmeat themes page, the "aqua" themes do quite well as a group, but it's not hard to find a significant number of people that just hate that look.

I personally think that Windows XP is not all that great: the titlebar is to big, the borders are to small, and the whole thing is just to blue. I'm currently writing a window manager, and one of my goals is to be fair and provide a default theme that everyone hates. ;-)
