Re: Why art.ubuntu.com do NOT accept gtk/metacity theme?
Because AUC is a usability nightmare at the moment. It's hard to update it as it requires lots of manual work to be done (no imagemagick at the moment etc.) There's also a learning curve for normal user as the navigation isn't very usable.
As you mentioned, they are pending. A screenshot should be done before putting themes online (and this isn't even mentioned AUC, FAQ is still undone). AUC will most likely have themes for different *buntus in future, but Artweb doesn't scale well to that kind of changes. Therefore CMS change is a possibility. Hopefully this will be done before Dapper gets released.
Anyways, thanks for your input!
