Here are some news about the current state of artworks for intrepid.
More less the artworks are done. I reorganized the wiki page by
putting the recommended artworks for intrepid to the front, for better
reviewing.
I incorporated the logos in the new wallpapers experimentally.
Because of this, I created two versions of them, one for regular and
one for wide screen monitors.
The gtk theme still not completely decided on. In my last write up, I
recommended unity. Since then lots of things happened. Among others a
brand new theme, New wave (a darkish theme) was created that is based
on the newest murrine engine. Looks pretty cool and it comes with a
new xfwm4 theme. I also uploaded that one for review. Please take a
look at it.
For the icon theme, I recommend Gnome colors. Look at the screen shot.
Cody, don't forget implementing the panel icon improvement script, I
sent over to you a few weeks back. This would be important because the
script makes the panel icons as good as in gnome.
Look at the differences:
All the archive files are up on the wiki ready for implementation.

Nice work !
I personally prefer the look of the unity over the NewWave.
I also like the idea of having the logo on the default wallpaper, but is
it possible that placing the logo in the center will have it scale
properly so that one image can be used for both wide and normal screens?
Also, I believe the logo would be more appealing if it was over a
lighter shade rather then the dark shade in the lower right.
While Gnome Colors looks fresh, I think I actually like the icons in the
"Customized Murrina theme + daolo xfwm4 wm theme" screen shot (is that
icon theme fully fleshed out?)
Thank you

I'm not too crazy about it. Dark themes still have a long ways to go.

I played with your recommended improvement this evening and I found that although it made some icons look nicer it did so at the expense of almost all the other widgets in the panel since your modifications remove that padding.

Same here, Unity looks good enough.

That's a shame. It is possible to set the milestone for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-artwork/+bug/261988 ? I really don't know what else to do to give it more visibility...
