Indeed, there is a lot to be said for the notion of changing as little
as possible by default in an upgrade, and then offer the bigger
differences (a non double-pane theme, in this case) as challenges for
the more-adventurous user.

My choice as well.

Terra and Graphite are lovely but, sadly, they just don't "work" for
me (or my mind for them, if you will) from a usability standpoint. I
will try them yet again, at some point, in hopes that they will
finally click for me.
