What the hell happened to the debian website? It's so 1990-ish now. It used to look way better. I guess they are just adapting it to it's primary user base. On the plus side it is ultra fast now.

Great news! I hope we will see GTK3 migration speeding up now. There are already quite a few of GNOME 3 packages in experimental (like nautilus, gnome-session, etc.), but several major ones (like gnome-panel) are still missing. Tried playing around with them, but it seems that mixing GNOME 2 and 3 does not work very well.

The SpaceFun theme is the default. Really Debian, why? This is horrible. It was pretty much the worst off all the choices. It boggles my mind that they would use something so amateurish by default without any second thought or user input.
That, plus the asinine "if you don't like it, don't use it!" attitude.

Saying that it is "crappy" is not very explanatory, is it? It is playful, maybe a little childish, but it is consistent (grub, gdm3 themes, desktop wallpapers, etc.), and high quality artwork. I have no clue why it was actually chosen, but my guess would be "universal operating system" taken kind of literally.
If you do not like it, there is an easy fix:
Code:sudo update-alternatives --config desktop-background sudo update-alternatives --config desktop-grub sudo update-alternatives --config desktop-splash
Also, if you are running plymouth:
Code:sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -l sudo plymouth-set-default-theme $ONE_OF_LISTED_ABOVE sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
Lenny look is still available in the above choices. Enjoy you custom Debian look!

If it's multimedia-related, check out the Debian Multimedia repos.
