	After looking at the Echo icons again, they look about 3/4 of the way
done, and since it's summer, some of the vacationers might get cracking
on that, I think. I know I am. :)

	I... somewhat agree. I know I personally always go in and change the
theme of the whole system when I install Fedora :P But stripes doesn't
really sound like the way to go for me. I, for one, like the eyecandy
type of themes, like gel, and I've already seen it in the Echo icon
theme. (Maybe we could develop a similar window theme???)

	I agree, but I think most people are used to blue-ish, but maybe adding
a contrasting color, like orange, to it might brighten it up some. They
look pretty good, in my opinion (I'd know, because those are the two
colors I use all the time).
