Ah yeah, I can only imagine. I used the Ubuntu Studio themes for a long time, they are much more pleasing to me personally, although one or two of the themes that ship with Jaunty isn't too bad either. There seem to be some nice themes available on gnome-look.org but it takes a while of browing through the crud, I don't always find the top-rated themes that nice either.
It is pretty hideous, especially on the bravia. The browns are brownier and the oranges are orangier. But I don't find the alternatives much more appealing. Plus ubuntu doesn't really have a theme that takes full advantage of all the compiz stuff (which I don't use but might do if there was a theme that worked well with it).
The default Ubuntu desktop is horriffic. I always hated that hideous brown/orange colour scheme. First thing I do on a clean install is start tweaking the theme settings, although I have to say that things have improved a lot over the last couple of years since Ubuntu started out.
i've actually been meaning to give opensuse a whirl at home. Have started running ubuntu through my 32" sony bravia, but the colour's really really bad. But i guess gnome is gnome is gnome.
