DesignBlend is organized in system profiles:

Desktop environment for animation designers.

Desktop environment for graphics designers.

Desktop environment for web designers.

Should provide consistent, non-attention-stealing color scheme.

Maybe start out with GTK theme greybird.

Should provide consistent window frames - e.g. thickness, shadows, action buttons view and logic.

Concrete (possibly outdated) example: Evince showing double menus with Xfce desktop with GTK+ 2.0 widgets.

Should use flat icons.

Should provide consistent default fonts across applications and widget frameworks.

Default fonts for menus and window titles
- aligned across GTK and Qt and Java and Mozilla applications
Default fonts for code
- aligned across console tools and web code editors and code source viewers
Default fonts for body text (screen optimized)
- aligned across word processors and Desktop Publishing applications
Default fonts for body text (print optimized)
- aligned across word processors and Desktop Publishing applications
Default fonts for headlines (screen optimized)
