At the end of the day, opendesktop.org is a website. Go and get which ever theme you want. I'd much rather the devs keep the ISO small rather than packing in a bunch of unnecessary stuff like optional themes.
New default theme for Solus?
I'm using Qogir-dark with Oranchelo-Beka, and I think it's beautiful; buuut it comes down to personal preference.
Maybe theme selection could be included in the installer? In a liveCD/USB environment, it might even be worth letting the user switch between themes in the installer and have their look and feel shown on that installer window.
It would both help to highlight the customisability of Solus, and it'd help to avoid complaints like this.
I was thinking "what is all this nonsense?" Arc-darker is the solus default for all my installs. Then I looked for arc in raven and it was no longer installed.
wth? I didn't uninstall it....
It takes me a long time to notice things....
I like Plata a lot. Yes, it's a 'Spinal Tap' dialogue about "black"..........
but I found arc again in SC and re-installed.
But enough of all this.
Whatever core team member shoe-horned all those Surf packages into icons/themes deserves a medal. Surf rocks.
PS--Qoqir is beautiful too

Not professional one, dislike it.
Soopyyy
Yes, iso should be small, but there are still flaws with the design. Such as not a complete set of icons and a gray cursor on the plasma. The fact that the theme of Fee Noir is chosen as the default is, of course, beautiful and harmonious. But, let's say, i use as a main player audacious, not a rhythmbox.
I can also recommend ready-made conky configuration files for desktop decoration:

For example, in Ubuntu Budgie they are used by default, as far as I know.
I love the default theme and the icons.One of the reasons for me to choose this distro was the default theme.
I am with a Planta- Lumina-compact and it fits me well
Tried Plata, but reverted back to Adapta. Sorry to say that, but Plata seems as step down in quality.
Theme is suuuper easy to change and default themes only generally change on a new release. Bring it up again when a release is nearing to discuss then.
