I think a Desktop is more than a group of apps. A Desktop is a entire 
user experience and the look and feel is an exentian part of the user 
experience.

I think icons are very important, like wallpaper, window borders, widget 
style, cursor pointer, etc.

All these things could bring a good or a poor user experience depends 
you select one or other.

When I suggested Faenza as a icon default I only want to invite to 
discuss about a more complete and user friendly Xfce appearance.

It appears there are some problems to include Faenza (or another new 
icon package) as a default icon theme cause the filesize. But I think 
there are no problem to suggest or recomends a set of icons, themes, 
etc. as the official look and feel and prepare a extra package with it.

Thereby, when a user install the xfce package and the xfce-look-and-feel 
package will obtain a better user experience by default.

I think this is a big benefit for Xfce users.


The questions are:

Making this is so laborious that it does not compensate?

It is better for users to have a default uniform appearance or must Xfce 
be provided with a basic one and let the users or distros configure it?
