Whilst it is a very subjective matter, I suspect you are in the minority
in thinking that the e17 default theme is ugly. Anecdotal evidence;
everyone I have shown the Live CD to has made noises like "oooooh" and
"wow!" Additionally, I am not arguing that it's easy to make themes for
e17, nor that e17 is light on memory, simply that most people think that
it is lovely to look at.

Best,

Chris.
