    Graphite Suite. I'm fairly sure the artist would appreciate you getting the name of his work right.

  2. Not that special by youknowmewell · · Score: 4, Informative

    Graphite suite isn't all that special. I was looking at it last night and was turned off by yet another white theme. Geez, how many different white themes do we need? Not only that, but it uses the Clearlooks engine, and although I like and use the Clearlooks engine myself, it certainly means that his theme isn't all that special. Thank the Clearlooks devs for the engine. And that wallpaper isn't his work either, it's Stanley 'artgerm' Lau's work. The icon theme looks like a modified default GNOME icon theme by the looks of the screenshots.

    I'd say that the only thing that the Graphite Suite brings is a full desktop theme rather than just a GTK or Metacity theme. Other than that, it's over-hyped by the article.
