That is being done in the gap project at http://gap.nongnu.org. Check it out.And those that try to work on themes... get stuck with actual theming support in applications, bugs and gnustep-core.Also, GNUstep has very good theming support. So it's possible to make it look completely different than the classic look. The problem, yet again, is manpower. It's difficult to find the people who are willing to contribute their free time to help us make GNUstep as gorgeous outside as it is inside.
I have on my list:1) Sleek: the new version looks quite cool to me and will be its first complete release, but it still misses some support here and there to be properly display, also oinsite GWorkspace. But I'd appreciate a little help there 2) Neos: after some lessons learned in Sleek, I want to improve it and make a second release 3) ThinkDark: a Dark "color scheme", currently on hold until color support of controls improves 3) Windows native: its image loading broke and is in such state since months/years, this limits certain refinements. It has other limitations which I know tih Gregory but don't find the time with him to work on, like better menu sizing which would make things much more pratical.
So lots of fire on the wood, but little help in certain key areas. But again definitely not "dead". Just by checking the blogs progress can be sensed.
