F8 artwork

[Mark]

i will TRY and make a theme how i like it.
expect it to be tiny :)

i will make a mockup as soon as i get home.
i`m not certain if i`m capable of making a complete theme but if i can i
will make it for KDE (time isn`t much of a issue with the upcomming vacation
(2 1/2 months)

expect a mockup here soon (today or within a few days)


> Who will start the first round?

So yea if i`m the first who can actually show something with theming (not
mocking up but really making it work in kde) than i would like to be the
first one :)
