Well maybe I should be more precise "There are people working to
implement GSTheme". But even with the current state, I believe that much
can be achieved with the colors (there are bugs but a few). For example,
I thought about a tool that could be very useful for packagers. This
tool gets the name of the user's theme and provides a similar theme for
GNUstep. Or just provide a lot of themes and enable to SystemPreferences
establish a global theme. These themes would be similar to default's
themes (and most popular themes) of the main distros. These themes can
be based on the default theme or in Neos theme. For example, look this
screenshot of Cenon running on Ubuntu with similar colors of the default
theme

Whatever you think best. I can work on this. I will join to the project
this week or next (I hope that my copyright assignment don't miss on the
mail)
