Some of the theme details are still being worked out, but plans are far from 
complete right now. The Nimbus theme is one of the most consistent I've seen, 
but I'm personally not sure it's the right look for OpenSolaris.

It will eventually happen. There's a couple of bits to fall into place first - 
the virtual consoles being the priority here. Believe it or not, there were bits 
integrated into ON for a while, but I'm told they've since bit rotted. Hopefully 
we'll see this down the track sometime soon.

(Obviously if you're interested in working on it, I might be able to find the 
right people to talk to).
