There has been some discussion over the years but I don't think anything significant. I've always liked the idea of a "brandable" hobbit. We could then add a new "themes" section to The Shire. :-)
It would be nice if you could just point to a theme folder or maybe just symlink www to a theme. If you could write up a tutorial on what you did that could go up on The Shire...that'd be awesome. It'd be really awesome if we could make it brandable to the sub-page level for those of us who monitor multiple customer's sites.

With all the discussion about icons, I figured I would open another can-of-worms (so to speak).
I don't know if this has been discussed before (I could not find anything in my searches). As part of getting buyoff from managers we changed the look of hobbit to be a little less "dark". We only make one change to the code (to make highlighting of the line work), all other changes were to the web/www files.
Major Changes:
- Moved menu down to make room for 'company banner'
- changed colors (background/font/etc)
- Removed background (we were annoyed by the "blink" everytime the screen refreshed)
- Added status "line" between company banner & menu, also below the footer.
- Added highlight function: highlights line that mouse is over
- changed icons
- changed footer
I wanted to see what others thought of our effort. Also, I wanted to see if others think it would be worth the time to make hobbit 'skins' (never really cared for that term).
I am willing to help in any effort.
See attached. (sanitized version).
