Geoff:

Might you be interested in/able to do a fancier theme for an Athena 10
greeter screen?

I think the current design makes perfect sense as a "retro look"  
appropriate to debathena as the home-grown, low cost alternative to  
IS&T Athena.  I'm thinking that something new that says, "This is the  
exciting replacement to the dowdy old IS&T Athena".

What say you?
