Well, as you might noticed one of the first releases of Nodoka theme for Metacity and GTK was released. You can get it at the Nodoka wiki. It’s intended to become a Fedora default theme in the future. Currently it’s based on Murrine engine, but it’s not the final stage. The look is going to be even better. Daniel Geiger forked the Murrine engine and is going to adjust it to the Nodoka needs. I am looking forward when he publishes the sources.
So let’s compare the default look of Fedora 7 and Fedora 8 if Nodoka would be included.
Fedora 8 (with Nodoka, Echo, and Fedora Moon theme [from Mola Pahnadayan]):

Note that regarding Fedora 8 nearly all presented here are sketches and might not be included in final, or might look different. However, I hope that the Nodoka theme and the Echo icons we will make in time.
