[plug] Gnome Beautification Project

[John Knight]

All I can really say is less grey, and just add a bit more colour, should 
help a lot (I hate the 'beige' way of doing things, it's inhuman). Other 
than that, I've seen GNOME looking pretty swank with some tweaking. :)

"...it was brilliant, there was three up against a thousand, and boy, did we 
give those three heaps!"
