I'm simple an experienced desktop user who always admired to excellent
graphics and professionalism of the redhat distributions (and now
eyeing Novell/SuSE's too)

its actually not bad...I'd MUCH prefer that as the default wallpaper
over the light blueish look of the one shipped.

I've read other complaints about the bubbily theme but do not know
specific ones at the moment.

Ya I know but there is a bluecurve fedora theme in the GDM setup which
i MUCH preferred over the one that shipped by default.

I guess I'd like to see Fedora shy away from the bubbles (I like the
'F' logo though w/out the bubbles) and light blues scattered
throughout the distro (and grub themes) back to the darker blues that
Fedora used to use. I really like the Gilouche theme (shown here:

shipped with SUSE, but I'm sure the Fedora team can come up with
something just as nice. I guess its hard to clearly define what I like
without showing stuff from RHEL 4 because frankly, the artwork was
fantastic as shown here (except for the greys of the old bluecurve as
stated before):

Thanks for listening.
