I don't think the default theme is the problem. The problem is that the users 
don't
see, at website, screenshots of gnustep running with other themes or in other
desktops. Or even an visible link to get other themes. I remember that some time
ago was discussed about put a link with screenshots at website. For example, we
can put images of gnustep running on Gnome, KDE, Etoile and Windows.
Alongside the default theme on WindowMaker.

Also, we can add a couple of themes in GUI package. As examples of what is
possible. So, the user can switch the theme easy.

I can add some icons to Silver theme, to release a new version soon.
