I would appreciate if we could have a gNewSense-specific GTK theme.

As in Parkes it could be based on the default theme, but with adjusted 
colors.

In Debian Wheezy a transition Adwaita theme has been used, meaning it 
actually uses a slightly modified Clearlooks for GTK2 and Adwaita for 
GTK3 only. The theme engine also does not yet fully support GTK2 Adwaita 
(that has been introduced in GNOME 3.6).

Maybe we could just port the existing GTK2 theme and modify the GTK3 
theme a bit, to match the color scheme.
